March 27th-April
The warm temperature have taken the remaining snow here at Catamount OFC and we have closed the trails to avoid damage to the network. The Hub will be closed until further notice. Thank you for your understanding and stewardship and we look forward to seeing you out on the trails again when the conditions are durable. We invite you to use our parking lot to walk Governor Chittenden Road to stay active and outside this mud season.
We often have folks ask if it’s okay to “just walk” on the trails during this thaw out period. To be clear, walking has real impacts on the trails, particularly when the ground is soft. The majority of the spring damage at Catamount is done by people walking. We’ve been out already repairing fresh foot holes on several trails. Thank you for watching the weather and planning your adventures when the temperatures and ground conditions allow.
We invite you to explore our events calendar for a variety of fun and engaging events happening this spring including our Eclipse Viewing Party with eclipse art and star gazing activities the same day! There’s plenty to look forward to, and we’re excited to share these opportunities with you.

Trail Mantras
If you are leaving a track, please turn back.
If the ground is fully white, wearing snowshoes is right.
Ski wherever your heart desires, single track is best for snowshoes and tires.
Ski tracks are set to glide, make sure to snowshoe and ride to the side.
