Prospect Mountain

Our Mission

In 2018, the Prospect Mountain Association (PMA), a 501(c)(3) community nonprofit organization based in Bennington, Vermont, was established to purchase, protect and operate Prospect Mountain, a Nordic recreational center in Woodford, Vermont. Prospect Mountain Association’s purpose is to support community health and wellbeing by providing groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoe trails and programs for a diverse population in the Southern Vermont, Western Massachusetts and Eastern New York communities, and to promote and develop the sport of cross-country skiing through related educational activities for these communities.

Cross country skiing for all ages and skill levels in rural Vermont. Open daily 9-5 (or sundown) in season as conditions allow. Prospect Mountain Nordic is a cross country ski center located in Woodford, Vermont.

What’s New?

Dear Prospect Supporter:

It is hard to believe that we are going in to our 7th season owning and operating Prospect. It has not been without challenges- mostly brought on by the weather. However- on balance- things have gone very well thanks to your generosity and the hard work of our employees.

Pictured below are some photos of trail improvements, building upgrades, and the completion of an extension of our snowmaking system. We now can cover about 2K with snowmaking, and hope to start when the weather gets cold enough.

 The snowmaking system alone cost around $900,000. The other improvements together cost about $534,000 which included replacing the septic system and purchasing a new tractor and dump truck. This was all in addition to the $900,000 you helped us raise to purchase Prospect in 2018.

None of this would have been possible without the outstanding financial and volunteer support all of you have provided for us these past seven years.

Please accept our sincere gratitude for this support, and we hope to see you all this winter sliding around on the mountain.

Regards,
PMA Board

Prospect is now officially CLOSED for the season. THANK YOU to all our faithful patrons – long-time pass holders, new folks just discovering Prospect, and our many teams and clubs ~ Prospect Mountain Ski Club, Prospect BKL, Williams Nordic, Williams Outing Club, MAU Nordic Ski Team, Mt. Greylock XC Ski Team, and so many others for coming to Prospect Mountain to XC ski this season and enjoy our magical slice of Southern Vermont! We appreciate ALL of your support!
The PMA Board of Directors would also like to thank our incredible and dedicated staff ~ Steve, Mike, Al, Oisin, Joy, Fiona, Bruce, Jen and Daniel for all the hard work it takes to run Prospect Mountain.
We look forward to seeing you all next season when the temps drop and the snow falls (from Mother Nature and/or our new HKD snow guns!)
Until then, be well!
