Powers Retro Pipe - Saturday, March 21

The Stratton Parks Crew will cut the Powers Retro Pipe on East Byrnes Side, scene of landmark events in the 80's and 90's. Olympic medalist Ross Powers is back for his third year of setting the tone for his signature halfpipe event. HOMESICK has seen dozens of legends return to the Stratton halfpipe along with local and regional rippers. HOMESICK 2025 is set to be another historic gathering of riders gathering at Stratton in March. Be sure to register early and who knows, you may find yourself at the top of the halfpipe getting ready to drop in with Ross, Shannon Dunn, Jeff Brushie, Shaun White, and Tina Basich, next to you.

OG Downhill - Sunday, March 22

Before there was a halfpipe, slopestyle or rail jams... snowboard events were all downhill. Here's your chance to strap in like it's 1983 - the year Stratton first welcomed snowboarding. This dual slalom race includes gates, rollers, and many turns on a red and blue course. Race your gear with a run on each course, sending it sideways on your board just like the snowboard contest pioneers did when, and where, it all began years ago.

You will need a valid season pass or lift ticket in addition to registering for the event.

Discounted tickets will be available day of at Guest Services for registered competitors only.
