Outdoor Adventures for Vermont Winters

Vermont winters can get a bad rap: while they can be cold and snowy, there are many ways to get outside and find the joy of playing in Vermont’s winter wonderlands. When you think of taking advantage of Vermont’s winter playground you might think primarily of skiing. Resort skiing and snowboarding is certainly a big part of Vermont’s winter culture but if you’re looking for something different you’re in the right place. We provide unique things to do in the winter from backcountry skiing, to ice climbing, to mountaineering. These pursuits open up a whole new way to explore the snowy and icy New England landscape, all while focusing on having fun, trying new things, and developing novel skills.
