Rikert Outdoor Center, on Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf Campus in Ripton, holds J-Term cross country ski lessons for Midd College kids taught by Midd College kids. Cross Country skiing teaches you to ski up, down and around without a lift, on lightweight comfortable equipment. Our trails take you through the beautiful woods which inspired Robert Frost’s poetry (his cabin is up a trail and through the woods). Come learn a lifetime skill and earn a PE Credit at the same time.
No car? No problem! There is a Tri Valley Transit bus traveling right up to Rikert which leaves and returns to campus hourly from the ADK Circle all throughout
J-Term.
