Great early season skiing.. but now time to start snow dances ! With today’s rain, our wonderful early season skiing is now turning in our “base”…Please keep off the trails until they fully freeze (Friday) so we have a nice smooth base instead of frozen ruts. With a little bit of snow and grooming of the frozen base, we will hopefully be back out there soon! Stowe Land Trust- Adams Camp Connector: We did it! We did it! Enough funds have been raised to conserve The Adams Camp Connector. This conservation project will protect important connections for recreationists and wildlife movement from the Little River to the eastern slopes of Mt. Mansfield. It will conserve a portion of the Catamount Trail and Stowe Derby. The next phase of the project will seek to improve the trail connections for skiers, bikers, walkers and runners.
