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.

Live music by KIDBRASS
to Benefit Prospect Mountain Association at PMA lodge
Sunday, December 29th, 2024 at 7PM
KIDBRASS is a Brooklyn-based group of self-described recovering jazz musicians whose fusion of jazz and psychedelic rock underpins their trumpet and sax fueled party music. Formed in 2021, KIDBRASS has played regularly around New York City including residencies at The Bitter End, The Sampler and Double. Featuring members of Castle Rat, Cab Ellis, Nour Harkati, YUCHTET and others, members of KIDBRASS have performed at Radio City Music Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Bowery Ballroom and elsewhere. KIDBRASS has earned their reputation as a band that works. Decadent electric guitar, tenor sax, trumpet, drum and even bass solos take turns melting faces, but their music always strives to include and elevate, not alienate.
Doors open at 6pm, show starts at 7pm. Come early, settle in as its BYO!
Tickets: $20 cash, check, venmo at the door.
For further inquires and RSVP contact Suzy Yucht: syucht@yahoo.com
Looking forward to seeing you for a great night of music in the lodge!

DONNA SMYTH’S ProspectHERS SKI CLINICS SCHEDULED AGAIN IN JANUARY.
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
Thanks to the hard work of Jeff and Suzy Yucht and Rob Sperber- we have a number of beautiful new signs now installed at Prospect.
Pictured above is Jeff and Suzy with two of them. Yankee Courage is one of our alpine trails, and Bud’s Climb now is the new name for Ef’s Ascent. Bud’s Climb is named in honor of Bud Fisher- the legendary Williams College ski coach for over 40 years now retired.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Dave Dethier, we also have new trail signs on the Shea’s property that align with the maps posted there. Jeff, Suzy, and Rob made those signs as well.
Hope to see you all soon on the mountain.
