Prospect Mountain maintains more than 30 kilometers of trails. When the snow falls, the trails are expertly groomed for both skating and classical cross-country skiing. Most trails have tracks set on either side with a wide skating lane in the center. There are also special snowshoeing and single-track trails. They have trails from beginner to expert. The Mountain Trail is popular with experts looking to climb more than 400 feet to the top of the mountain. After enjoying the view into the valley below, get ready for several kilometers of downhill fun!
Prospect welcomes skiers who want to skin up the mountain and ski down the former alpine trails. Even if you are not using the cross country trails, they do request that you buy a day pass. This helps support the plowing of the parking lot and mowing those downhill trails in the off season.
Prospect Mountain’s lodge has been a fixture for years, a rustic place to warm up grab some soup and a sandwich and catch your breath. Over the years it has become like a second home, and been decorated by memorabilia and pictures.
Private and semi-private lessons are available by appointment. Call (802)442-2575.
In 2018 Prospect Mountain came under the management of the Prospect Mountain Association (PMA), a Not-for-profit 501(c)3 made up of volunteer members to help steer the future of Prospect.
