Snapshot
This section includes groomed ski center trails, ungroomed, backcountry terrain, snowmobile trails, open farm fields and a golf course. It gently loses elevation as it proceeds north. A side trail connects to Beaver Meadow and Burling Camp. Wonderful farm fields, beautiful hardwood forests, and some gorgeous mountain views highlight this section.
Length
12.2 miles
Difficulty
The section contains moderate hills, requiring minimal technical skiing ability. It is a great intermediate level section that allows skiers to experience ungroomed skiing without too much challenge. Small stream crossings and some uphill climbs will require sidestepping and herringbone. Several road crossings allow this section to be broken into shorter tours. Please be careful to not damage yourself or the fencing if you are required to negotiate over or under farm fencing on this section.
Note: Please remember to check in at the Edson Hill Nordic Center and purchase a trail pass if you are utilizing the CT within their trail system.
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.
