Enjoying the snow up in the Breadloaf Wilderness

When the bikes are stored for winter, and the snow begins to fly in Vermont, our Bike Shop becomes a Ski Shop! Come rent some Telemark ski gear, or get your skis tuned and waxed by some of our snow-oriented student orgs. 

The Ski Shop is CLOSED for the season

What a cold and snowy winter to remember! Thanks to everyone who helped make it even more wonderful by offering waxing sessions throughout Jterm, and for equipment rentals brought to you by members of the Freeheelers and Midd Club Nordic, along with the Gear Room staff. See you next December!

The Free Heelers and Midd Club Nordic take over the space from December to March, offering gear rentals and waxing clinics throughout the winter season.
