    Vermont State Auditor Douglas R. Hoffer Report to the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Natural Resources State Land Leases Boost Ski Industry, but Are Dated and Inconsistent 1/20/2015 • Office of the Vermont State Auditor • Non-Audit Report 15-01 Mission Statement The mission of the Vermont State Auditor’s Office is to hold government accountable. This means ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively and efficiently, and that we foster the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse. Principal Investigator Andrew C. Stein Non-Audit Inquiry This is a non-audit report. A non-audit report is a tool used to inform citizens and management of issues that may need attention. It is not an audit and is not conducted under generally accepted government auditing standards. A non-audit report has a substantially smaller scope of work than an audit. Therefore, its conclusions are more limited, and it does not contain recommendations. Instead, the report includes information and possible risk-mitigation strategies relevant to the entity that is the object of the inquiry. DOUGLAS R. HOFFER STATE AUDITOR STATE OF VERMONT OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR January 20, 2015 The Honorable Shap Smith Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable John Campbell President Pro Tempore of the Senate The Honorable Peter Shumlin Governor Deb Markowitz Secretary of Natural Resources Dear Colleagues, More than 70 years ago, the State decided to catalyze a new industry by leasing public land to companies willing to invest in the infrastructure necessary for downhill skiing. By most measures, this partnership has been successful, and our iconic mountains are now home to world- famous ski areas.

  • A Guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont
    A guide to the Hiking Capital of Southern Vermont 1 Introduction Welcome to Mendon, known throughout Vermont as the “Gateway to the Green Mountains.” Mendon is blessed with the best mountain scenery in southern Vermont. Killington Peak (Vermont’s second highest summit), Mendon Peak (the highest summit in Vermont without a marked trail to the top), Blue Ridge (overlooking the Otter Creek Valley) and Bald Mountain and East Mountain (both overlooking Rutland City and beyond) are all within our town boundary. Nearby Pico Peak further adds to the dramatic mountain skyline that we all enjoy. Over 90% of our town is forested and over 50% is protected in the Green Mountain National Forest, three Vermont State forests (Coolidge, Aitken and Jeffords) and the Rutland City forest. Hiking trails abound in Mendon, from the world-famous Long Trail/Appalachian Trail corridor to casual saunters like the Tamarack Notch loop to opportunities for bushwhacking up untrammeled summits like Mendon Peak. You can understand why we proclaim Mendon to be the hiking capital of southern Vermont. This ”Hike Mendon” trail guide is your ticket to mountain adventure. It is not intended as a comprehensive tenth-of-a-mile by tenth-of-a-mile trail guide. You will not find GPS coordinates anywhere. Many sources available in print and on-line do all that very well. Rather it is a guidebook that will help you find trail heads, alert you to where the trail goes left or right or straight up and what to expect in different seasons, including winter. There are also sections on hiking our snowmobile and back country ski trails and descriptions on where to start your bushwhack for those trail-less summits.

  • 1 Timeline of Vermont Skiing Ca. 1853: “At Some Time in His Middle Years
    Timeline of Vermont Skiing New England Ski Museum In preparation for 2014 Annual Exhibit Ca. 1853: “At some time in his middle years he (Joseph Seavey Hall) built a trail up Burke Mountain, near East Burke, Vermont, and later enlarged it into a bridle path. He claimed that it was he who transformed the Crawford Path from a blazed and cairned trial into a bridle path. He built the first summit house that was anything more than an emergency shelter. He completed the Carriage Road from just above the Halfway House to the summit…In his early forties he marched through Pennsylvania with the 11 th regiment, Vermont Volunteers, and fought in the Battle of Gettysburg. …After the Civil War he went west, mined silver in Nevada, and then moved on to California, where, according to family tradition, he once more indulged his passion for building roads up mountains and houses on mountains by constructing another carriage road, this one up Mt. Diablo.” Bradford F. Swan, “Joseph Seavey Hall, White Mountain Guide,” Appalachia, Magazine number 130 (June 15, 1960), 57-58. 1860: “Mountain recreation at Burke dates back to 1860 when Lt. Joseph Seaver (sic) Hall of East Burke cut a trail to the mountain’s summit and erected a cabin there. Picnickers and hikers used the trail to climb to the mountaintop which was a popular pastime in Vermont in the late 1880s.” Karen D. Lorentz, The Great Vermont Ski Chase . (Shrewsbury, Vermont: Mountain Publishing, Inc., 2005), 54 1892: “Winter sport was organized on a permanent commercial basis under the direction of the Woodstock Inn as early as 1892, when the inn opened its doors for the first time.

We provide residents with information about environmental laws, strategies for organizing, a network of activists around the region, and access to legal and technical experts. Toxics Action Center is funded by donations from 2 concerned citizens and grants from private foundations.
