Open for skiing? It’s fatbike season!…mostly

When we open for skiing, our rule is to switch to fatbiking rules for the singletrack. (Refresh your memory about those over here, along with fatbike conditions).

However, given the slow start to winter, we are likely to vacillate between fatbikes and mountain bikes for a bit. Fatbikes are allowed on singletrack anytime during friendly weather conditions, but if you want to ride normal MTB, check Trailhub conditions.

So how will I know which bike I can ride?

Fatbikes are allowed on singletrack anytime during friendly weather conditions, but if you want to ride normal MTB, check Trailhub conditions. We will post notes about that in our fatbike conditions posting as well. In general? If we get back to bare ground in the woods, we’ll welcome regular bikes. All fatbike rules will remain in effect EXCEPT for mandates around gear.

No bikes on the manmade loop

This can't be emphasized enough, when we're trying to keep the snow clean and open for skiing. Bide your time riders, it's a long winter, and snow's coming. In the meantime, leave the field loops for the skiers.

Do you have rentals?

Not this year.

What about grooming?

Our grooming staff's attention remains on producing some of the best Nordic ski trails in North America. Grooming for fatbike singletrack will be primarily via snowshoe, if at all. Want to improve the situation? Interested volunteers should drop us a line at bikes@craftsbury.com, and we'll try and work something out.
