March 14th – 18th

Spring has officially made its entrance at Catamount OFC, bringing with it the season’s characteristic thaw cycle. Due to the unpredictable conditions and in an effort to preserve our trail integrity, all trails at Catamount OFC are now temporarily closed until the ground dries out and stabilizes.

We understand the importance of staying active and connected to the outdoors during this transition period. As an alternative, we encourage our community to make use of Governor Chittenden Road for walking. This provides a safe and accessible option for enjoying the spring weather.

While the trails rest and rejuvenate, we invite you to explore our events calendar for a variety of fun and engaging events happening in April. There’s plenty to look forward to, and we’re excited to share these opportunities with you. Stay tuned for updates on trail re-openings and thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this period.

Member up today to enjoy all the activities and benefits that COFC offers. Summer Camp registration is live for 2024. Support Catamount’s trails and our long term evolution at our Donation & Sponsorships Page.  

Trail Mantras 

If you are leaving a track, please turn back.

If the ground is fully white, wearing snowshoes is right.

Ski wherever your heart desires, single track is best for snowshoes and tires.

Ski tracks are set to glide, make sure to snowshoe and ride to the side.
