Nordic Pulse

That's a wrap! The 2025-26 von Trapp Resort ski season is officially over with ski and snowshoe trails closed again today and nothing conducive to re-opening in the forecast ahead. We had a soft opening on November 14 and are now ending on April 1. It is always bittersweet to finish a ski season and tough when there's still nice snow up high, but this was one for the books. Sugar Road and Fox Track and other lower trails needed to access the higher trails are effectively one sheet of grey ice with the snow component gone now, which would make rescues impossible. A huge thank you to all of our guests and passholders for making it possible and a huge thank you to our team for all the grooming, snowmaking, lessons, rentals, soups, retail, and friendly service. We hope to see many of you all through the summer and will hope for another November opening to get the 26-27 ski season going!

 

If you are an overnight guest on property and eager to get out for some exercise and fresh air we would encourage you to walk Trapp Hill Road or a bit further afield there are a lot of lower Stowe Land Trust properties that will not have the same sheet of ice on trails.

 

This will be the last Nordic Pulse post for a while and mountain biking and hiking conditions will be posted on the von Trapp Resort webpage periodically with mountain bike status updated regularly on TrailForks. We opened for mountain biking around May 10 last year and expect that the timing could be similar again this year. Reminder that any property visitors outside of ski season need a day, summer or all-season pass.

 

Thank you!
