Snowshoeing


Dashing through the snow is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the wintertime, get some exercise, and have fun all at the same time! Our resort offers ample terrain where you can snowshoe on your own or with a scheduled group tour. Whether with a group or out on your own, we’ll help you plan a route that suits your experience and confidence. Snowshoeing is dependent on snow accumulation and weather conditions. Contact the Outdoor Center for trail reports and changes to scheduled tours.

We received a couple of inches of new snow last night and although it was not enough to re-open the ski trails there is enough snow to snowshoe up to the cabin! The cabin is open every day serving food and drinks 10am-3:30pm.

Today's Cabin Specials: Vegetarian broccoli cheddar soup, beef barley soup, vegan potato leek soup, bacon & corn chowder, bratwurst with cabin kraut, cheese boards with Vermont cheeses, sausages, walnuts, etc.

On our 2,500 acres, we've identified 25 miles of perfect territory for laying tracks on un-groomed snow. Backcountry gear rentals are available, with 24-hour advance notice.
