Meet Christine Anderson, a ski mom who has been skiing at Stratton (Winhall, Vermont) her whole life. Christine gives us tips and insights to navigate Stratton Mountain for a great family ski day. 

We learn about Christine’s early childhood ski days learning to ski in Vermont with her family. Christine met her husband at Stratton and got married at the Stratton base lodge,but that’s a story for a different podcast 🙂
