Great walking up there regardless whether one is on the Norwich U or Northfield town lands - any time of year too!

Great spot with amazing skiing and some of the best mountain biking in Vermont.

How's the skiing up there? I live 20 mins away from Northfield and haven't been up Paine yet. If it's a solid ski I definitely wanna try to hit it this season

It used to be an actual lift served hill for Norwich. So there are several routes down at varying pitches. Obviously they are super “natural” now and overgrown but you’re still on a mostly cleared, albeit narrow, slope. Can also duck into the woods if you know your way around.

Wow, graduated 12 years ago and never really expected to see anything regarding NU on here. Love it man! I just remember hill sprints up to this in the summer/fall.

Yeah Im always passing the ruck hikes on my way up the mountain. The students sled down the slopes and it's crazy dangerous if you're in the way
