New S.E.S Pass Process
In previous years, any rider had to have a S.E.S. Pass, and get it by going through a safety video in the Igloo by the mid-station lodge. Going through the program S.E.S program, gives you a pass access to Stratton's best rated parks in the country.
The S.E.S. program is now offered completely online.
