Winter\Spring 2014/15
STRATTON INVESTS $21 MILLION It truly was Christmas in July as shiny new gondola cabins, the latest HKD snowguns, new snowcats, two new glades, buses and bullwheels, grips, racks and rental gear … arrived in what has been a $7 million capital investment for the upcoming 2014-15 season at Stratton Mountain. These projects follow on the heels of last year’s $10.5 million investment that touched virtually every aspect of the resort experience. Additional projects this summer, including new Vil-
lage shops and restaurants, expansion of the Carlos Otis Clinic and the Patricia Kaltsas Performing Arts Center at Stratton Mountain School, bring that two-year total to more than $21 million. Manufactured by Sigma, an affiliate of Leitner POMA, the 58 new gondola cabins feature a rubber mounted frame designed for a smooth ride. Carpeted flip-up seats and exterior ski and snowboard racks create a comfortable carriage straight to the summit of southern Vermont’s highest peak. New cabins and cable replace the originals built in 1988; a new gear box was installed at the start of last season bringing the gondola project in at about $3 million. With a trip time of less than eight minutes, the Stratton gondola carries 2,400 people per hour and runs 7,580 feet from base to the summit of southern Vermont’s
highest peak with a vertical rise of 1,742 feet. Wonder what $1.2 million will buy? How about 350 high efficiency, low energy HKD snowguns bringing Stratton’s fleet of tower mounted snowguns to more than 1,000. In addition to boosting firepower, these efficient new HKDs make Stratton’s move from diesel to clean electric compressors complete, saving 60,000 gallons of fuel. “It’s a win for the environment, and our bottom line,” explains Snowmaking Manager Kevin Booth. This summer’s snowmaking project also includes 20 new air/water snowguns for a total of 75 portable air/water snowguns. “While these air water guns are not our go-to gun, they work well in the early season and for touch ups,” explains Booth. “We just want to have as many tools as possible!” Add the 14 fan guns, unrivalled air
and water capacity (with 280 million gallons in reserve), two new Prinoth BR 350 grooming machines in the fleet, one of which is winch ready, and there’s a recipe for snow so great it’s guaranteed. Two new Blue Square (intermediate) glades extend beyond the western boundary for a total of 125 acres of gladed terrain designed for all abilities ranging from the wide open Emerald Forest to the tight and technical double black runs like Squirrel’s Nest. And there’s more with new shops including Lole, eateries and pub in the Village, new options in on-mountain dining from smoked barbecue at midmountain and Tex-Mex at the Sun Bowl to the new Market Bistro in the main Base Lodge. Stay tuned to stratton.com for snow conditions, special events and live music throughout the season.

The Mountain School at Winhall is an accredited pre-k – 8th grade, Independent School with a public mission to offer equity and excellence to all students and families in our surrounding towns. The Mountain School’s curriculum is based upon the belief that balancing a rigorous academic program, along with fostering creativity and problem solving skills, and developing students of fine character, is a winning combination. Students learn through a hands-on, interactive, interdisciplinary approach to learning. Each day begins with the Head of
School, Ms. Patricia Stanley, greeting each student at the front door. When asked about this practice Ms. Stanley said “At a small school like ours, it is so important that I get to know well and connect with every student and family, and make myself available and approachable. Understanding and appreciating the whole child and developing relationships are what Independent school education is all about.” The start of each school day brings a Morning Community Gathering where students practice projecting and speaking clearly in front of a group of peers

A guesthouse, rugged barn, indoor equestrian arena, cabin and more are all on site.

and adults to share aspects of their class work. These gatherings, as stated by Ms. Stanley, “develop a sense of skill, ease, and confidence. Speaking in public and listening well to others is truly an invaluable, lifelong skill to gain.” From basic skills, which result in the foundation, or platform for learning, to high-level study and problem solving skills, the Mountain School works to capitalize on each students’ strengths and creativity.

New and Improved Snowmaking at Bromley This winter season, Bromley Mountain is adding 74 brand new high efficiency HKD tower guns, complete with hoses, and scrapping the 59 remaining energy-hog ground guns. Through some strategic re-arranging, these new guns will be placed in key locations on trails in Phase 1 and 2 of Bromley’s snowmaking plan, as they are great for making snow early in the season when temperatures may still be a bit warm. The older guns will find permanent homes on trails - Upper Gazer, Lower Gazer, Lord’s Prayer & Spring Trail - that have never had permanent tower guns of their own. Bromley will become ski industry pioneers this season, installing the first Snowmaking Energy Index (SEI) in the United States. This system will allow Bromley to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of their snowmaking system in real time, giving their team the ability to adjust variables allowing for maximum output, best quality snow & lowest energy consumption. Bromley is also installing an Intelli-Flow Controller, to increase snow output by maximizing available air from the compressors based on real time environmental factors. The technological improvements this season at Bromley are pretty astounding. Bromley Mountain offers great ski deals and ski packages for family ski vacations. Close to Manchester, Vermont, Bromley offers top skiing and snowboarding, and was voted #3 in the East by Ski Magazine for Kid Friendly Activities in 2015. In addition Bromley was ranked in the top 10 in the East by Ski Magazine for character/ambiance, value, service, and accessibility/ease of travel! Visit http://www.bromley.com for more information.

In this present real estate market, there are some outstanding deals for investors. You may want to consider taking advantage of this buyers’ market by purchasing real estate with your retirement funds. Purchasing real estate inside a real estate IRA using one’s Individual Retirement Account (IRA) funds - before retirement age and without incurring early distribution penalties - is a little known investment opportunity. The rules are complex but if followed closely, can lead to a profitable endeavor. There are a number of Internal Revenue Service limitations. The IRS does not allow individuals to use retirement funds for a primary residence or a vacation home. However, you can purchase raw or vacant land, investment or rental properties and commercial buildings. You cannot lease space to a business that you own or to a relative. Basically, you cannot have any personal benefit from the property. All income and profit on the real estate investment must flow into the IRA and all expense must be paid out of it. So therefore it is important for real estate IRA holders to keep adequate reserves
in their real estate IRA account to cover such property-related expenses as maintenance costs, taxes, insurance, and management fees. Since buying a property may require more funds than you currently have available in your IRA, you also can have your IRA purchase an interest in the property in conjunction with other individuals, such as a spouse, or business associate. It is possible to finance a purchase of real estate from your IRA but it must be a non-recourse loan which means that you cannot put the property up for collateral. Very few banks are willing to lend money for this type of purchase and there are a number of restrictions that must be considered. The first step to purchasing real estate from your IRA is to choose an independent custodian to manage to hold the assets on your behalf. A number of companies can be found by searching for self-directed IRA or real estate IRA online. Once you have moved your funds to the account, you can begin the search for your investment property. An agent from Vermont Country Properties Sotheby’s International Realty would be happy to assist in your search!

Vermont Country Properties Sotheby’s International Realty New Eats in Stratton Village
The restaurants in The Village at Stratton have undergone major changes the past two seasons. Last year the village welcomed the Stratton Mountain Market & Deli along with the Fire Tower. This spring Mulligans renovated their location and we welcome two new concepts this upcoming season. With the great success that Bobby Montuoro and his business partners have brought to Stratton last fall, the resort and village owners were ecstatic to hear of his desire to open additional locations within the resort. Bobby has proven to be a passionate restaurateur for service and food quality. Stratton Mountain Deli is focused on seasonal ingredients for the most flavorful and freshest menu items. The menu at the Stratton Mountain Deli includes pastries, breakfast sandwiches, lattes, coffees, espressos and specialty sandwiches, salads, burgers and more for lunch. With the deli and market running so smoothly Bobby and his team were ready for their next venture. Now we welcome Bar 802 and Village Pie. The minute you step in to Bar 802 in Stratton’s Village you will instantly fall in love with the cozy surroundings. The atmosphere gives off a warm, sophisticated Vermont cabin feel with leather seating in the lounge and bar stools all around. It’s inevitable the Bar 802 will become your favorite bar at Stratton with over 20 craft beers, six pulls of tap beer, a full bar and a menu of tapas, sliders and specials. The atmosphere is unmatched, and the food will keep you coming back. The skilled staff will mix up your favorite drink or try one of their signature drinks. Village Pie is nestled in the center of Stratton’s Village delivering a captivating blend of old Italy, and fresh local Vermont ingredients. Village Pie offers truly distinctive and authentic Italian pizzas with the finest and freshest ingredients, wings, calzones and salad bar.

Northshire Bookstore earned the title “Bookstore of the Year” Northshire Bookstore has been a Manchester mainstay since 1976 when Ed & Barbara Morrow moved here to fulfill their dream. They chose Manchester after spending weekends and vacations for two years exploring New England for the right spot. Since then, Northshire Bookstore has expanded many times, including a move into the Colburn building (current location) in 1985 and the addition of a new building in 2003, doubling its size. Northshire Bookstore has always taken its mission as a community resource seriously. It quickly developed an excellent Children’s section in order to promote life-long reading among the area youth. As part of its effort to reach under-privileged children, Northshire instituted the Book Angel program over a decade ago. The Book Angel program partners with customers and area schools to get books in the hands of kids
who would otherwise not be getting books for the holidays, distributing over 500 books each year. Another aspect of its community mission is creating a nationally recognized author event program for our enjoyment. From bringing world-class authors to the Northshire to supporting local authors, the bookstore continuously provides opportunity to connect with writers. Just in recent months, Northshire has hosted Doris Kearns Goodwin, Billy Collins, R.J. Palacio, Hillary Clinton, Norman Lear, Jeff Kinney and many more.
