Winter hours of Operation 9 am to 5 pm Thursday- Monday. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday to give our volunteer staff a little time off. |
Over the past two years, we have been working hard to enhance the Nordic skiing experience at Forbush and to develop mountain bike trails for summer use. Our goal has been to upgrade facilities and infrastructure, expand snowmaking, and—as noted above—add new mountain bike trails.
To achieve these objectives, we set a fundraising target of $1,000,000. Thanks to contributions, sponsorships, and grants, we are already more than halfway to reaching that goal.
Significant progress has been made: additional snowmaking was installed last year, the equipment garage was expanded and resided, and new vault toilets were added. Inside the ski center, we built a changing room with a baby changing station, remodeled the ski school area, and constructed the first mile of mountain bike trails with professional builders. Looking ahead, each additional mile of trail is expected to cost about $40,000.
Partnering with Forbush Corner Nordic as a sponsor offers a unique opportunity to promote your business to a dedicated and growing community of outdoor enthusiasts. With many local, regional, and outside the region skiers visiting during the winter season—even in low snow conditions—your business will reach a highly targeted audience, many of whom are visitors seeking local lodging, dining, and services. Our sponsorship packages provide excellent visibility through listings on our website, flyers, and in-shop advertising, allowing you to connect with potential customers during their stay.

As a non-profit organization, Forbush Corner relies on the help of volunteers. Volunteers help with tasks ranging from trail maintenance in the fall to assisting with races during the winter season.

Like Dave Forbush, many individuals share a deep passion for the outdoors and Nordic skiing. To honor the legacy of some of these remarkable individuals, the following memorial contributions have been made:
Memorial contributions like these serve a dual purpose: they honor the memory of loved ones while supporting meaningful causes. By directing funds toward Forbush Corner these gifts help sustain and grow programs that align with the passions and values of those being remembered.
Such memorials create a lasting legacy, enabling families, friends, and the community to contribute to something greater than themselves. They provide an opportunity to celebrate lives well-lived while making a tangible difference in preserving and enhancing outdoor spaces, fostering community, and promoting activities like Nordic skiing for generations to come.
Each year we have a number of indivduals, businesses, and organizations that support us. Listed below are the supporter for the 2024-2025 season.
