We are happy to announce that we are OPEN with 20 km of ski trails and over 2 mi. of snowshoe trails. There are still a small amount of icy and thin cover sections, please take caution and be in control at all times. Thank you for your patience during the past week, we look forward to seeing you again.p />

To all those who donated, supported, and volunteered,

Your friends at Morse Farm Ski Touring would like to give a heartfelt thank you for your generosity, spirit and perseverance. Our full moon snowshoe and bonfire benefit event for Hearts with Haiti was a complete success. Those who braved the single degree temperatures were rewarded with warmth, delicious snacks, and an uplifting experience. With all of your support we were able to raise $2,838.00. This far exceeds all estimates and is a testament to the strength of our community and our human spirit. Every penny will be spent to help the children in the St. Joseph Family who have been so traumatized and displaced by this tragedy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

By using the Morse Farm Touring LLC facilities and assets you agree to the following conditions. Cross-country skiing can present a risk of serious injury and even death. I understand that during cross-country skiing I am responsible for determining the safety of trails based on my own experience and skill level. I recognize that ski conditions may affect hazards such as ice, bare spots, other skiers, skiing in an unmarked, undeveloped and remote terrain, accidents an/or illnesses, and the forces of nature. Be aware of one-way trails and of the fact that snow grooming may be in progress. Therefore I assume these and all risks and agree to hold Morse Farm Ski Touring Center and all associates from any and all liability claims or demands which may arise out of these risks and hazards while I am using the facilities at Morse Farm Ski Touring Center. I am responsible for myself and those skiing with me.

"The Sweetest Ski In Vermont"

"As a seventh-generation Vermonter I can say winter is beautiful, invigorating and damned hard work, all at the same time. Last winter, I traded in my splitting hammer for a set of cross-country skis. Now I've added another word to my winter vocabulary...'fun'."
Harry (Burr) Morse Jr.


"If hard work is any indication of success, the Morse Farm Ski Touring Center may become central Vermont's newest and most utilized attraction."

Visit our family-friendly cross-country touring center, with views of Camel's Hump and the Hunger Mountain range. Professionally designed scenic trails offer a diverse choice of terrain, through softwood forests, sugarbush, and across gently rolling open pastures. Suitable for all skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned experts, who will appreciate the banked turns on our many challenging trails.

Our warming hut and on-site rental shop share the same building with the Morse Farm Sugar Shack gift shop, with most trails traversing our 7th-generation maple sugar farm. While you're here, take a few minutes to tour maple sugaring works, taste our maple sugar-on-snow, or just enjoy a cup of hot mulled cider or cocoa by the wood stove while watching fellow skiers from our glassed-in deck.
