Stratton Mountain to host Gather Outdoors ski and music festival

TCE Presents has announced Gather Outdoors, a two-day ski and music festival taking place April 11-12, 2026, that brings together everything great about late-season mountain culture. The event combines full days on the slopes with evening performances from bass, jam and house artists across two stages at the mountain’s base.

Music programming runs from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. each day, giving plenty of time to catch the first chair in the morning, spend all day on the slopes, then transition seamlessly into an evening of bass music at the base of the mountain.

The main stage brings the bass and jam energy. Crankdat leads the lineup alongside Daily Bread, who’ll perform a special sunset set. Atmospheric bass producer Of The Trees rounds out the electronic side with his signature heavy, melodic sound.

The Disco Biscuits are going all in with three performances across the weekend. You’ll catch them in their classic jam format, as their dance-forward alias TRACTORBEAM, and in their acoustic Powered Down configuration.

The jam and electronic crossover continues with STS9 bringing their signature blend of live instrumentation and electronic production. Selector Know Good, Twiddle founding members Gubbulidis and funk-forward multi-instrumentalist Karina Rykman fill out a stage built around improvisation and the kind of genre-blending sounds that move freely between electronic production and live performance.

New York City’s Teksupport collective brings the underground club energy to the mountain with a second stage that’s all house and techno. The stage features New York house legend Dennis Ferrer, global house duo Camelphat and Maccabi House co-founder Adam Ten. Viral sensation Stryv joins the lineup alongside rising selector Chase West, producer LuSiD, Brooklyn favorite MINK and Ranger Trucco.

Stratton Mountain in southern Vermont provides the backdrop, and the timing couldn’t be better. April means longer days, spring conditions and that perfect transition period where winter’s not quite done but spring is in the air. The mountain’s village base serves as the festival hub. Black Bear Lodge is the official hotel partner, offering slopeside access.

Tickets will be available in single-day, two-day and VIP options with flexible payment plans. Curated packages bundle ski lift access and on-mountain accommodations for those looking to experience the full alpine weekend. It’s one of those festivals where the format actually enhances the experience rather than fighting against it.

Presale registration is open now.
