Brattleboro Outing Club Ski Trails

Trails & terrain

The 2026 lower map grades Sugarin’ and Lower Heart Throb easier, while Owl Loop and Upper Heart Throb are more difficult. Dashed routes distinguish classic-only skiing, including the most difficult wooded lines; a trail’s color does not by itself mean it is skate suitable. The separate upper map shows the more difficult Dunham Field loops and red-dashed snowshoe routes. Choose a return within your ability rather than assuming a golf-course setting is uniformly gentle.

Lessons & getting started

The club describes lessons with qualified instructors, arranged according to instructor availability. Check the ski page before planning instruction; a guest pass or equipment loan does not include a lesson. Its winter programs page also describes school ski instruction and club outings. Those programs are separate from an independently planned ski visit, and previously posted event dates do not establish the next session.

Rentals & equipment

Season members can borrow equipment without a separate rental charge when the volunteer hut is open; guest visitors pay separately for rentals. Listed classic and skate packages include skis, boots and poles. Borrowed gear is for use at these trails and must return before the hut closes that day; multiday rentals are not offered. Confirm current hut staffing, sizes and availability before relying on equipment.

Arrival & parking

Navigate to the Nordic hut at 73 Senator Gannett Drive in Brattleboro. The hut and sign-in kiosk are at the far end of the upper parking lot. The restaurant is at the other end and is not the Nordic check-in point. Both maps mark the ski hut and parking; use the club’s ski-page updates and linked trail-status resource before choosing lower or upper routes.

Passes & trail etiquette

A season membership or guest day pass is required, and visitors must sign in at the kiosk. The club leases designated winter routes: stay on marked ski and snowshoe trails and off the golf fairways. Walking and biking are prohibited on the groomed network. Dogs are restricted to Dog Trot and Lab Land, with leashes at the parking/entry area; follow the club’s control rules beyond the footbridge. Snowshoers on those shared routes must avoid classic tracks.
