Monday, January 13th
The week of snow has added up and the entire XC ski network is groomed with abundant sunshine forecasted for today. Ski tracks are set on the Goose Hill, Night trail, Sandmans loop, and Woodstrace. More snow is expected on Tuesday to keep things skiing great. Fat bike trails are groomed out and starting to firm up.
Please note that skis, fat bikes, or snowshoes are required for all recreational activities at this time. No boot traffic is allowed on the network to protect the trails and long sought after groomed conditions. All pedestrians must wear snowshoes. The sledding hill is open and groomed.
Monday Night the Ladies group ski will go out under the full moon from 6-8pm. Headlamps are recommended. Let us know you plan to join!
Visit the trails and conditions page for detailed information.
While pedestrian access is complementary,
please support our nonprofit’s year round trail stewardship work,
network and building planning
and amazing community events and programs.

Trails & Building Updates
With recent Town of Williston Selectboard approval, we are moving forward with Act 250 and Wetland permits for our Comprehensive Trail Plan! Supporting the planning time and permit applications for this project is essential to its success.
We’ve also chosen our partners for our VOREC Building Planning grant, Black River Design and TCE. Expect public meetings to be scheduled soon. The timeline goal is to have blueprints by mid-summer 2025. We’re very excited to be rolling on this project! Your donation is vital here too.

Winter Wanderers Camp
At Winter Wanderers, we will explore the wonders of winter in a fun, meaningful, and experiential way! In addition to being active outside on snowshoes, skis, and fat bikes, campers will learn about basic outdoor skills, winter ecology, Leave No Trace, and environmental stewardship.
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
