Good News: There are 5 inches of fresh powder out on the trails! Woohoo!

We are hoping that will mean we'll be back out by Sunday, but it could be next week. Our apologies to skiers headed out there this weekend, and thank you for your patience as our staff deal with arranging repairs. As a side [Read More...]

On October 24th, NorthWoods invited VT FPR Commissioner Michael Snyder to campus to converse with staff about the outdoor recreation movement in the NEK and throughout Vermont.
