Fall is here on

Prospect Mountain

The mornings are cooler, the leaves are turning, and we’re getting ready for winter. Staff and volunteers have been improving trails and building a garage for our two snow groomers and winter firewood.

Whether you’ve skied here for decades or are just getting to know Prospect, we’re glad you’re here. This monthly newsletter shares what’s happening on the mountain, introduces the people who make it possible, and invites you to take part.

You can join in a few ways this fall: help shape a new adult ski program, lend a hand at our October workday, or come together for a November dinner at the lodge. Read on for those invitations and a first look at the winter ahead.

The Prospect Mountain Ski Club

A Masters program is coming

Your input is needed

The Prospect Mountain Ski Club is planning a Masters program for adults. Possibilities include group skis, coaching, clinics, and off-snow training. Before the club decides what to offer first, it wants to hear from people who might take part.

Interested? Take the Masters program survey. Your answers will help the club set its priorities.

Save the Date:

Saturday, October 17th, for our Annual Workday at Prospect Mountain

Every fall, volunteers help get Prospect ready for ski season. We’ll clear trails, spruce up the lodge, and tackle the jobs that are easier with many hands.

Join us on Saturday, October 17, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come reconnect with old friends or meet some new ones; first-time volunteers are welcome. Lunch is included.

To sign up, email Dave Newell at info@prospectmountain.com by October 15, and let him know whether you’ll join us for lunch. The rain date is Sunday, October 18.

Event Organizer & TD Seminar at Prospect

Prospect will host NENSA’s Annual Fall Event Organizer & TD Seminar on October 17–18. The seminar brings together people who help plan and run Nordic ski events for hands-on activities and discussion.

Topics include planning for contingencies, managing ski control and spectator areas, and setting up starts and exchanges. See the full program and register on NENSA’s website

Prospect will also host the 2027 Bill Koch League Festival on March 6–7. This year’s theme, Skiing Through the Eras, celebrates five decades of young skiers finding fun, friendship, and adventure on snow. Expect some wonderfully retro ski clothes—and more festival news as winter gets closer.

Mark your Calendars for our Winter 2027 Moonlight Ski and Dinner Dates:

Save these dates for Prospect’s Moonlight Ski and Dinners: January 23, February 20, and March 20, 2027. Season pass holders will have early access to sign up for the January dinner. We’ll share more details as each date approaches.

Philanthropy builds Prospect’s future

Season passes, day visits, lessons, and events help sustain Prospect’s day-to-day work. Donations serve a different purpose. They allow Prospect to think beyond this season.

Donations strengthen our resilience. They help us prepare for changing winters, improve trails and facilities, protect the land entrusted to our care, and create opportunities that would otherwise remain beyond our reach.

Financial stewardship, therefore, is not an act of rescue. It is an act of confidence. It expresses our belief that Prospect’s best years still lie ahead.

If you’d like to help with that work, make a donation to Prospect Mountain. Thank you for believing in this place.
