Tours are done for the season! Thank you to our tour leaders and participants for another great winter on the trail.
CTA’s volunteer led tours are a great way to discover new sections of the Catamount Trail, explore our chapter managed backcountry zones, and get to know all of the amazing terrain that Vermont has to offer. SDTs are FREE and open to both CTA members and non-members. Before you sign up for a tour, please make yourself as familiar as possible with the trail section or zone. Review the appropriate Trail Section Map or Zone Map to help make sure your skill level and experience is adequate for the tour in question.
Registering for a Single-Day Tour
Before registering for any CTA tour please read the following information:
Skier Responsibilities
Recommended Equipment List
Skills and Fitness Guidelines
To sign-up for a tour:
- Please click the “REGISTER HERE” link for the specific tour(s) you would like to attend, then fill out the tour registration form. This form includes a CTA waiver that must be signed before submitting the form to the tour leader.
- Please register well in advance – do not wait until the night before the tour. The leader will provide information on the meeting location, meeting time, and other necessary details via email. All leaders are volunteers – please be patient with response time if you email them with questions.
Here are some additional guidelines to consider when participating on a CTA tour:
- Have the skills and physical conditioning necessary to complete the trip. If you’re unsure… Ask the tour leader.
- Bring sufficient food and water for a full day and extra layers.
- Stay with the group.
- When leaving the trail, tell someone or leave your pack.
- At the end of the tour check out with the leader before leaving, otherwise they may not know you’ve left and might go back out to look for you while you’re on your way home.
- Leave your dog at home unless specifically allowed by the tour leader.
