Parking Note
Parking at Camel’s Hump Nordic Ski Area is now located on Bert White Road and can accommodate 20 cars. The Handy Road parking area will no longer be maintained. The upper part of the Stagecoach Road trail has been re-named Big Baldy. Cobble Hill has been re-routed, South to North skiers should look for the intersection of Cobble Hill at the height of land on Skunk Brook trail.
Snapshot
This section provides a variety of groomed and ungroomed skiing along moderately steep terrain, and passes through the groomed trail system of the Camel’s Hump Skiers’ Association (CHSA). The Trail from the CHSA trail system north to Duxbury Rd. (River Rd.) provides an exhilarating downhill ski along the popular Honey Hollow Trail.
Length
7.8 miles
Difficulty
South of the CHSA trail network, the ungroomed CT crosses rolling terrain with some moderate slopes and sudden dips. Within the CHSA system the terrain is similar but the trails are groomed, making the skiing easier. The long (ungroomed) downhill run on the Honey Hollow Trail includes several short, steep descents and narrow chutes.
Note: Please consider making a donation to the Camels Hump Nordic Ski Association if you are utilizing the CT within their trail system. Donations can be made online at camelshumpskiers.org or by visiting the self-service warming hut. CHNSA Trail Map
Staying Found
Out in the woods keeping track of where you are can be a challenge. A map and compass is always a reliable option, but there are some great technological solutions that can make knowing where you are super simple. Please visit out Staying Found Webpage for more info about some of our favorite navigational tools, and note that all of our PDF maps are geo-referenced. This means they can be opened directly in apps like Avenza and used for navigation even in areas where there is no cell service.
