19th Annual Craftsbury Weekend
Craftsbury Outdoor Center
Craftsbury , Vermont
February 3-5, 2012
In the heart of Vermont's unspoiled Northeast Kingdom, you'll find some of the finest cross-country skiing in New England. Located on a high rolling plateau, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center often gets more snow than other locations. Whether you’re an experienced cross-country or backcountry skier or snowshoer, or a novice in the world of snow sports, you’re sure to enjoy this popular family-friendly GSW weekend.
Skiing and Snowshoeing
Craftsbury has some of the best skiing in the east! Over 100 km of trails wind through pristine Vermont scenery providing both classical and skate skiing for all ability levels. Don’t feel as though you’re really skiing unless you’re in the backcountry on untracked terrain? No worries! The Catamount Trail, a backcountry trail which spans the entire length of Vermont from Massachusetts to Canada, travels through the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. And don’t forget the 20 km of snowshoeing trails at the Center that let you explore winter at an unhurried pace. Lessons are available, as are ski and snowshoe rentals (at very reasonable rates!). Several downhill ski areas are within an hour’s drive.
Accommodations
The lodge is a former dorm – simple and comfortable. It has private (double) rooms and shared baths. Wholesome, healthy, hearty, all-you-can-eat meals (including vegetarian choices) are served in a wood-heated dining room. The weekend includes two nights lodging (Friday and Saturday), all meals (Friday dinner through Sunday lunch) and trail passes. If you don’t have a roommate, we may be able to match you up with one. You can also extend your stay by one day with Sunday night and a departure on Monday 2/6. Contact us as soon as possible to reserve these limited spaces!
