Stick Season Fun at Catamount!

Our trail network is open around the clock unless marked closed. See Trail Conditions.

While pedestrian access is complementary,
trail maintenance, grooming and organizational support are expensive.
Please support our nonprofit’s year round stewardship.

Our small non-profit must balance Guest Service & Rental Hub Hours; This November we will likely be open one day per weekend. This weekend it will be Saturday the 8th (closed Sunday the 9th).

SnowSchool

“A bright yellow school bus pulls up to a frozen parking lot in the middle of winter. The doors open. Out come dozens of fifth-graders in puffy jackets, mittens, and hats. Today, these students are going to strap on snowshoes, romp around the snow, dig pits, study snow crystals, and learn about their watershed. Welcome to SnowSchool.” ~Winter Wildlands Alliance

Building & Trail Updates

After an extensive public input phase during the winter and spring, we’ve been working hard this summer with our partners on the VOREC Building Planning Grant — Black River Design and TCE — to advance building designs and permitting requirements. This work includes wetlands and stormwater delineations and permits, Act 250 review, septic system planning, and more. We aim to have conceptual designs finalized this fall! We’re very excited to be moving this project forward.

With Town of Williston Selectboard approval in the Spring, we are still moving forward with Act 250 and Wetland permits for our Comprehensive Trail Plan! This work is being done concurrently with building planing whenever possible.  Supporting the planning time and permit applications for this project is essential to its success.
