Elderhostel Schedule

Elderhostel Winter 2008

The Craftsbury Outdoor Center has a unique Nordic Ski Center in Vermont's unspoiled Northeast Kingdom. The snow generally falls early and remains late because we sit high in the hills of Vermont's snow belt. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a first-time skier, our outstanding ski instructors will teach to your ability level. Explore over 100 kilometers of expertly groomed and tracked ski trails and an extensive snowshoe trail network.

Accommodations

Our dorm style lodges and home-style all-you-can-eat meals with a vegetarian option always available will make you feel at home. Our community lounge, kitchen, weight room, sauna and masseuse will help create a home away from home. Most of our accommodations are shared baths, however, you can upgrade to a private bath, suite or cabin if desired.
