We are humbled and excited to announce that, thanks to contributions from more than 170 donors over the last 9 months, we’ve hit our Heart of the Trail Campaign goal of 1.3 million!
The CTA community has accomplished much in our 40 years as an organization. Now we have the opportunity to build on that legacy and finish trail protection work on an iconic core of the Catamount Trail from Blueberry Hill Inn to the von Trapp Family Lodge, while also investing in the next generation of skiers through Youth and Community programming.
Heart of the Trail Campaign Goals:
- Take advantage of a unique opportunity to fully protect the “Heart of the Trail” from Blueberry Hill to von Trapp Family Lodge and ensure permanent access to some of Vermont’s most treasured mountain landscapes, while bolstering trail protection statewide.
- Implement trail improvements and high-elevation backcountry zones to make backcountry skiing more climate resilient.
- Expand access to skiing and foster the next generation of backcountry skiers in Vermont by investing in the sustainability of our youth and community programs and opening a welcome center at a new CTA office along the Heart of the Trail.
We are excited to move these ambitious goals forward and will continue to share our progress and efforts with the community. Thanks to you, we now have the resources to make Vermont’s backcountry more fun, climate-resilient, and accessible to everyone in the coming years!
