Come to a public information meeting at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Nov 14, at
the Readsboro Central School to learn about what’s happening at the
former Dutch Hill Ski Area in Readsboro, VT.It went out of business in
the 1980’s and is now part of the Green Mountain National Forest.Last
fall the Forest Service finalized their South of Route 9 management
plan, which identified Dutch Hill as a site for non-motorized winter
recreation.At the meeting, a local historian will present a brief
history of Dutch Hill and Forest Service reps will present information
about recreation, timber harvest, and wildlife support plans for the
Dutch Hill area.DHASH (Dutch Hill Alliance of Skiers and Hikers), a
non-profit group of volunteers, will tell about how they are working
with the Forest Service to clear some of the overgrown ski slopes for
backcountry skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, and sledding.No, there
won't be any ski lifts coming back, but the slopes will be cleared and
free to ski or sled for anybody willing to climb them using muscle
power. Questions?Contact info@dhash4vt.org.For more information about
DHASH, go to dhash4vt.org.
