Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center, Grafton VT

The Outdoor Center is in Grafton, VT which is a picturesque Vermont village with general store, tavern, an antique shop or two and a couple places to eat. The Outdoor Center is probably a mecca for college skate skiing competitions. They advertise 30km of trails, but we laterally traversed the mountain three times and did just about all the trails in 2 hours. If you are looking for quaint, quiet, beautiful Nordic trails nestled among the Vermont country-side, you will be greatly disappointed. If you want a good work-out racing around several loops on trails as wide as a freeway, this may be one of the best in New England - especially if you want big hills.
