Welcome to the ATA mid-Spring 2023 update - we are really excited for the coming seasons out on the trails!
Ascutney Day Hike - on Saturday, May 27th from 10am-2pm volunteers from ATA will be at the summit on the stone hut site under a tent with sandwiches and refreshments for hikers. Hike to the summit to discover the date how many people hiked to the summit on that day. Choose a trail to hike to the summit and sign your name in the ATA notebook. It’s always a good time to find the youngest and oldest hiker of the day. Hike to the summit to find out and get some ATA branded goods.

Previous Trail Day & Inaugural "Jump Jam" - This past Mother's Day weekend we had a trail day at the skills park to clean and repack the jump lines. Despite the dry and dusty conditions we were able to rake out rocks and pack in the berms and jumps. The next day ATA, led by Avery Mornis, held a successful Jump Jam event where riders came to throw down new tricks and perfect some others. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the stellar weather and cheered each other on while each rider traversed the skills park. Check out the photo gallery that Zach Wallace put together to capture the action of the day. Contact Zach to purchase your favorite shot.
