WINTER RATES & HOURS
Winter Adventures at Catamount Outdoor Family Center
Our groomed trail network offers outdoor adventures for all ages and experience levels, whether you’re gliding on cross-country skis, exploring on snowshoes, or riding a fat bike, we have something to get every body outside this winter! As a nonprofit outdoor recreation center, we rely on community support to care for our trails and keep them welcoming for everyone. Thank you!
Plan your adventure: Choose from Day, Winter, or Annual Memberships for cross-country skiing and fat biking. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning member, our trails offer a great way to get outside and enjoy the winter season.
Need rentals? We have you covered!: With options for nordic skiing, fat biking, and snowshoeing, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors together throughout the winter.
Ready to explore on snowshoes? Snowshoeing is complimentary, so you can enjoy the trails without a membership. We do not allow foot/boot traffic on the trials in the winter season. Snowshoes are required. See out trail mantras for more information. If you love spending time here, consider making a donation or becoming a Supporting Member to help care for this special outdoor space.
Bundle up, get outside, and make the most of winter at Catamount!
Please review our 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.
- No dogs, please (we know you doggo is the goodest boy/girl!)
For the sake of all trail users please be patient during freeze thaw cycles or during “mud seasons”. Thank you for helping us steward these trails.
