In Vermont, fall brings cool mornings, apple picking, colorful foliage and trail work!
Over the next couple of months, skiers will meet up in small work crews to prepare Vermont's cross-country and backcountry ski trail, the Catamount Trail. Section by section they'll clear fallen trees, make sure trail markers are visible and generally clear the way for skiers this winter. This 300-mile-long trail is a treasure for freeheeled skiers who like to get out in the woods when the snow falls.
Here's the current schedule for Catamount Trail work parties as of September 15. Please visit the <link http: www.catamounttrail.org external-link-new-window trail web>Catamount Trail Web site for contact information and to check on date changes, etc. And thanks in advance for helping to keep our trail in tip-top shape!
