While these warmer temps have allowed our hiking enthusiasm to linger into December, the Moosalamoo Association is happy to welcome snow to the MNRA. Check out our newly updated skiing and snowshoe links with direct info on trails where you can play in the snow and places to rent gear if you need it. After a day out in the snow, plan an apres ski in the lovely restaurants in Brandon, Rochester or Middlebury before you head home.

The Romance Half Marathon Race and Tour is scheduled for February 11, 2012. The course will start at the Rikert Nordic Center in Ripton, VT and follow the Catamount Trail and other wilderness trails in the scenic Moosalamoo NRA. These wilderness trails will be groomed classic style specifically for this event and no skating will be allowed. The Tour Category will ski the 15km loop while racers will have a choice between the 15km (one loop course) or the 25km course (two loop course).  Space is limited, so register now! *For more info on the event, check out our Events page!*

As always, maps are available at local businesses and welcome centers or by contacting the Moosalamoo Association at 802-779-1731.

See you on the trails and think *snow*!
