Host Dennis McMahon speaks with Greg Maino, Communications Manager of the Catamount Trail Association.

The Catamount Trail Association is a passionate group of backcountry enthusiasts. They have been working since 1984 to create North America’s longest backcountry ski trail, and to expand access to Vermont’s mountain lands. The group believes days spent in the woods with friends are powerful, and that those experiences should be open to everyone. The Catamount Trail Association is a membership and volunteer supported organization.
