Trail Types:

    FIELD “TRAILS” –trails in the fields are flagged on the downhill side and are color coded

     WOODS TRAILS – Through the generosity of our adjoining neighbors, we offer 3 separate areas for classic skiing in a wooded setting-  Mathew’s Field  & adjoining woods- beginner;    Peckham Woods -  more challenging twisting turns;   and Backcountry - more difficult hilly terrain;       All these areas are marked with YELLOW  flagging. 

           Flagging code-   1 flag marks the trail

                                  2 flags marks an intersection of 2 or more trails

                                  3 flags marks the end of the trail for our program, please do not

                                      ski beyond these markings.

 

Skis, Boots & Poles- Equipment will not be available during ski sessions, please make an appointment or see us after the ski session

            Pole bucket-   Any child forgetting poles may borrow some from the bucket located on the patio next to the sunporch

 

Registration and Forms, Hat Sales- Please make an appointment or see us after the ski session

  

Dogs-  Please leave your dogs at home or keep them in your car.  There are 100 children learning to ski at HTC- some children may not be comfortable with dogs, loose dogs can cause accidents, and they leave brown deposits on our trails.  Thank you.

Driving to and from HTC -  Sand Hill Road is steep, an option to avoid the hill is to drive past Sand Hill to Irish Settlement Road on the corner of  Underhill Central School, turn left, go 1 mile to Sand Hill Road, turn left and HTC will be on your left.
