The snowshoeing and tubing combo tours here are clearly a hit, with an impressive track record of happy adventurers. What stands out most is the quality of the guides, particularly Liv, Jon (JSR), and Matt, who consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about Vermont's natural environment. They weave in local history, maple syrup production insights, and nature facts that transform a simple winter outing into something more meaningful. Multiple reviewers mention special moments like stopping to listen to snowflakes fall or gaining a deeper connection to the Vermont landscape. The activities themselves seem well-paced and accessible. The snowshoeing portion typically lasts around 30 minutes on scenic trails, followed by tubing and snacks featuring local treats like cheese, crackers, and hot cider. First-timers in snow and families alike report feeling comfortable and well-equipped, even in challenging conditions. Several reviewers from warmer climates specifically note how the guides made them feel at ease in 12-degree weather. The guides' attention to detail, from equipment setup to encouraging hesitant participants, creates memorable experiences that work for groups ranging from bachelorette parties to multi-generational families.
We had a blast partaking in the Snowshoe and Sugar Tour. JSR was a wonderful guide - so informative and just a kind person. Really enjoyed learning more about nature and the process of maple syrup making.
