WE'VE BEEN BREAKING TRAIL SINCE 1984, CREATING NORTH AMERICA'S LONGEST BACKCOUNTRY SKI TRAIL AND PIONEERING INNOVATIVE RECREATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT VERMONT.

WE ARE ADVOCATES, VOLUNTEERS, SUPPORTERS, AND TRAILBLAZERS WORKING TO STEWARD THE CATAMOUNT TRAIL, MANAGE BACKCOUNTRY SKI TERRAIN, PERMANENTLY PROTECT MOUNTAIN LANDS, AND EXPAND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO SKIING. BY BUILDING TRAILS, COMMUNITY, AND OPPORTUNITY WE CONNECT PEOPLE TO VERMONT'S MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE.
