Help us make a critical investment in the CTA community to ensure our world-class backcountry trails and terrain are protected for future generations and remain accessible to all Vermonters amid a changing world.
The CTA community has accomplished much in our 40 years as an organization. Today, we have what is perhaps a once-in-a-generation 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. To make those ambitious goals possible, we have launched the first capital campaign in the CTA’s 40-year history: the Heart of the Trail Campaign.
Together, We Can:
- 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 almost there! Thanks to the commitment and support of some of the CTA’s long-time donors, board members, and supporters who have made gifts to the campaign, we are over 90% of the way to our $1.3 million goal!
Will you help us close the gap? Any support, large or small, will help us reach our goal and begin the important and exciting work this campaign will make possible.
