Article in VT Sports: There are few places in the Northeast where you can find a higher concentration of world-class athletes per capita than Craftsbury. There are two reasons for this. For starters, Craftsbury (which comprises Craftsbury Village, Craftsbury Common, East Craftsbury, Collinsville and Mill Village) has a year-round population of under 1,200 that’s spread out over 36 square miles of rolling hills, fields and small villages. Skiing the trails at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. On any given day there you might run into a former World Cup Nordic skier skating the trails at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center or, come spring, an Olympic oarsman sculling the length of Big Hosmer Pond. You might also see families skiing trails that lead to Caspian Lake or snowshoeing on The Nature Conservancy’s Barr Hill Preserve. Or you might find a crew of Sterling College students fatbiking or bucking up firewood as part their community projects or sustainable agriculture classes. The college, based right in Craftsbury, is known for its focus on ecology, sustainability and outdoor education. Just north of Craftsbury Village on the shores of Big Hosmer Pond, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center has been welcoming top athletes, as well as recreational skiers, cyclists, runners and rowers to its campus and trails since 1976. In 2008, former Olympic rowers and co-founders of Morrisville’s Concept2, Dick Dreissigacker and Judy Geer helped purchase the center and turned it into a non-profit with the mission of promoting excellence in lifelong sports such as rowing, Nordic skiing, biathlon, cycling and running. What draws so many elite athletes to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center is, of course, the training opportunities, top-tier coaches and a state-of-the-art gym. However, the 105 kilometers of carefully groomed trails are a draw for beginners and experts alike. The trails cross open meadows with big views, wind up and down the forested hillsides and connect to Greensboro and to Caspian Lake. Keith Woodward, himself a multi-time age group world champion in duathlon, has been grooming Craftsbury’s trails since 1976 and in 2019 he and the grooming team worked with University of Vermont geology professor Paul Bierman and students on a study on how to save snow. Craftsbury stockpiled snow (preserving spring snow under an insulated blanket covered with wood chips) to get it ready for an early winter start. Between the reserved snow and snowmaking, the Center has been able to kick off the season reliably in mid-November. By early February, when Craftsbury usually hosts its famous marathon and 50K races, the snowpack is thick. Private Parking. Explore the area by car. Walk to the public beach. Hike and bike.
