Craftsbury Nordic Stadium

A Nordic Training Landmark

The Craftsbury Outdoor Center is one of the most respected cross-country ski and biathlon training facilities in the United States, drawing elite athletes and weekend visitors alike to its network of trails in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. This camera watches over the Upper Stadium, the open clearing used for races, time trials, and warm-up laps.

A Working Landscape

Rows of solar panels stand at the field's edge, part of the center's commitment to renewable energy, while a modest equipment shed sits near the tree line. The surrounding mixed forest of the Northeast Kingdom frames the open stadium grounds on every side.

Beyond the Snow Season

While best known for its groomed ski trails, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center's grounds double as a hub for running, mountain biking, and rowing on nearby Great Hosmer Pond throughout the rest of the year, making the Upper Stadium a year-round gathering point.

Rural Vermont Setting

Set among the rolling hills of Craftsbury Common, the view captures the quiet, unspoiled character of Vermont's rural north — a landscape of working farms, dense forest, and small mountain communities.
