Homesick Is Back At Stratton Resort
Even if New England isn’t home, you get homesick if you're away for too long.
Stratton Mountain and the East Street Archives have teamed up to bring back an event that pays homage to the East Coast roots of snowboarding. Homesick will go down at Stratton from March 20-22, 2026. The three-day event will feature snowboard legends, current pros, and regular Joes.
East Street Archives is a 400+ page book by Gary Land. It’s his personal love letter to snowboarding. Land moved to Vermont in 1993 after surfing and skating in Virginia Beach. His book delivers a raw look at East Coast snowboarding during the golden era of the 1990s.
Last year’s version of Homesick brought nearly $25,000 of funding straight to the Chill Foundation.

March 22, 2026: OG Downhill 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Before there was a halfpipe, slopestyle or rail jams… snowboard events were all downhill,” the event page says. “Here’s your chance to strap in like it’s 1983 – the year Stratton first welcomed snowboarding.”
This dual slalom race features gates, rollers, and a lot of turns. There is also a division for adaptive athletes this year.
Each event costs $129 to sign up. A Full Send package gets you access to all three events, and costs $329. Adaptive Downhill athletes pay $59.
You will need a valid 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. Stratton is offering special lodging deals for the weekend as well. Head to their website for more on that.
