Thanks to everyone who came out for a moonlit snowshoe last night! We had such fun in Maple Shade Town Forest, tracking and chatting. These are bobcat tracks! We came across tracks from coyote, rabbit, and the elusive domestic dog too. Get out there this weekend!

When: Feb 14, 2021, 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM

The Conservation Commission will offer a Nordic ski clinic this Sunday morning from 9:30- 11:30AM.

Meet with equipment, mask, and distance in the Westford Elementary School parking lot near the Brookside Rd kiosk.

This clinic will focus on teaching classic technique to teens and adults. All skill levels are welcome. Families are still welcome to join and ski.

For the next few Sundays, we'll switch it up to focus on off-trail skiing with a backpack and night skiing with a headlamp. Stay tuned.

We hope everyone is enjoying the trails!

There are quite a few trails at WES that aren’t groomed for Nordic skiing. These are perfect for a snow shoe adventure! Follow the blazes through the forest along Rodgers Ridge and Rocky Road.

We had a successful Nordic clinic for kids ages 10 and up today. Great snow, great time!

Goodrich trail is gorgeous in the winter. Start at the Underhill end by parking at the very end of Repa Rd. You’ll see hemlock, birch, lots of animal tracks, and views of Mt. Mansfield. It’s a nice way to spend a weekend morning!
