VMBA Days – Stratton

June 29 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Whether you are new to downhill riding or downhill riding is your cup of tea, we’re inviting you and your riding partners to join us! We’ll have rides aimed at beginner folks to party laps to close out our day with Ranch Camp. Make sure you stick around for some aprés, and stay for some amazing raffle prizes from VMBA’s partners!

There is no better place for our first stop of the season than Stratton Mountain Resort, a VMBA staff favorite! Stratton offers amazing riding and trails built by none other than Sinuosity! Beware, these trails may end up being some of your favorites.

We’ll be joined by Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports for guided rides and adaptive MTB demos as well as some of our southern Chapters including:

  • NATS
  • SoVTA
  • BATS
  • JAMBA
  • UVMBA

Stratton will also be hosting fastest Strava time competition on two trails. The winner of each segment and category will win a GoPro! Come to the VMBA tent to get the details and sign a wavier.

Make sure to sign up for the event and a ride if you’d liked to be shown around!
