Catamount combines a nonprofit ski operation with a shared community forest. Start at The Hub and use the official map’s winter double-track designations alongside current activity-specific closures.
Trails & terrain
Gray double-track routes on the official map are designated groomed Nordic trails in winter. Colored dashed routes show single-track difficulty, so their green-to-red ratings are not Nordic ski grades. The network mixes woods, open ground and hills. Follow the winter map and current signs: snowshoers and fat bikers use the appropriate separate routes and stay off the groomed ski surface.

Lessons & getting started
Private and semi-private lessons are arranged in advance; the operator requires advance notice and an instructor match. Public clinics have their own scheduled registration. Rental equipment is listed as an add-on, so confirm admission and equipment inclusions for your booking. Youth supervision requirements vary by age and program.
Rentals & equipment
Classic and skate ski equipment is available in adult and youth sizes. General rentals are first come, first served, cannot be reserved and must remain onsite. The operator distinguishes daytime rental service from trail access and night operations; check current Hub arrangements before relying on equipment pickup.

Arrival & parking
Use 592 Governor Chittenden Road in Williston. The official map places The Hub, ticket and rental services, parking and restrooms together at the main entrance. Stop at the Guest Services & Rental Hub to confirm your ski route and check-in; temporary parking or trail-work notices belong on the operator’s conditions page.

Passes & trail etiquette
Skiing requires a day, winter or annual membership. Complete the operator’s waiver and sign in each visit; the FAQ describes self-pay and QR-code arrangements when the Hub is closed. Pets are prohibited on the trails. Respect closures and turn back if the surface is too soft to support your activity without damage.
