2023 Fall Trail Running Series: Dates TBD

Fall Trail Work
We don’t have a scheduled day for this, but if you’re interested, contact us. There is always something that can be done before the snow flies!
Winter Trail Work
Winter trail work may involve various things. We often need help shoveling snow to make the trails more durable during meltdowns. Occasionally, high winds or ice storms drop debris on the trails which needs to be cleaned up. There are potential grooming opportunities as well, but that requires a fairly significant amount of training, which we can assist with.
Programming
If you are interested in teaching youth or adults how to ski, we can assist you with helping to set up a program and promote it. The St. Albans Recreation Department has been running a youth program for a couple years, but instructors are often hard to find. There are some local school programs that may also need assistance.
Fundraising
If you have any fundraising ideas, please contact us. We are completely volunteer based, so we can’t necessarily run every proposed fundraiser, but if someone is interested in directing something themselves, we can offer assistance, and possibly connect you with the right people.
