Exhibit (i)

                                  July 15, 2005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the filing by Seasons Series
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), of Post-Effective Amendment
No. 22 (the "Amendment") to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the
"Registration Statement") which registers an indefinite number of shares of
beneficial interest of each series of the Trust without par value, (the
"Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"),
pursuant to the Trust's Registration Statement.

As counsel for the Trust, I am familiar with the proceedings taken by the Trust
in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares. In
addition, I have examined the Trust's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and such
other documents that have been deemed relevant to the matters referred to
herein.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that, upon issuance and sale of
the Shares in the manner referred to in the Amendment, the Shares will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of beneficial interest of
the Trust. However, I note that as set forth in the Registration Statement,
shareholders of Seasons Series Trust might, under certain circumstances, be
liable for transactions effected by the Trust.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to the Amendment, and to the filing of this opinion
under the securities laws of any state.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                             By: /s/ NORI L. GABERT
                                                 ------------------
