The Connector Trail 11th Descent: Ski & Snowshoe Tour

The 11th descent of the Village to Little River Connector Trail will depart from the Blush Hill Country Club parking lot. Ski and snowshoe participants are welcome to enjoy this delightful tour, which includes several sweet sidebar tree shots for backcountry telemarkers, picturesque giant rocks, and a steep twisting final descent that drops onto a lovely rolling finish with scenic views of multiple bends of the Little River. Cross the snow-machine bridge to a warm shuttle bus waiting to bring you back to the start.

The trek is between 3.0 and 3.5 miles. It is mostly single track trails and an old VAST route in the woods with a couple of short uphill climbs and quite a bit of downhill, including some steeper sections. Overall, we would rate the trail as moderate depending on snow conditions.

Carry a backpack with water, snacks, and extra layers.

This event aims to benefit Winterfest and the local VAST club, the Green Mountain Roamers, who can no longer afford to maintain the section of their trail that we will ski on this tour. Consider purchasing a membership to the Roamers or donating generously to Winterfest in support of their efforts.

No registration required. Participants must sign a waiver. You can download the waiver here to print and bring with you on the day of the event. Waiver forms will also be available on site.
