South West Vermont

Whether or not you want to fork out the cash, there are some great XC skiing options in south west Vermont.

The paying option:

If you don’t mind paying for beautifully groomed trails, try out Wild Wings XC skiing. The trails run around Peru, VT and usually have snow on account of that area’s elevation. We have just dabbled with these trails, but so far we have been very impressed.

The Free Option:

The free option is a bit more difficult, but may prove to be just as fun. The Catamount trail runs the entire length of Vermont and happens to run through the Peru/Landgrove area as well. While not broken and groomed unless someone else has been on it before you, the Catamount trail is a great way to XC Ski, provided you can find a place to park your car and you can find the blog markers with the Catamount paw print. Of course you can’t beat the price.
