CTA’s volunteer led tours are a great way to discover new sections of the Catamount Trail, explore our chapter managed zones, and get to know all of the amazing terrain that Vermont has on tap. SDTs are FREE and open to both CTA members and non-members. Before you reach out to a Tour Leader to signup please make yourself 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.
If you’re looking to ski sections of the Catamount Trail don’t forget to check out our Multi-Day Tours. We’re planning to ski all 31 sections this season and you’re welcome to signup for a single day if that’s all you want/need.
