Description

Welcome to the beautiful Mount Mansfield in Vermont. This 1,340m high mountain is the tallest in the state and towers over the surrounding landscape!

Located about 40km east of Vermont’s largest city Burlington and its international airport, this wonderful mountain provides some top quality backcountry skiing opportunites.

I am delighted to offer this half-day introductorty course and share my passion for those who would like to embark on this fantastic activity of backcountry skiing.

This introductory course will last roughly 2 hours and will cover all the important ground concerning backcountry skiing.

We will examine the correct equipment to use, how to plan your trips and the requisite techniques.

During the course we will explore our local ‘Ranch Valley’ which offers a stunning woodland in which to practice.

Although this course is not too long or intense, you need to be of an intermediate skiing level to make the most of it.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to get your foot in the door with backcountry skiing and to learn everything the right way before you can develop bad habits.

If you’re excited to try backcountry skiing and would like to do so in a breathtaking landscape with experienced guides, then sign up now! I will be delighted to share my knowledge and zeal for the sport with you!

If you’re already comfortable off-piste then join me instead on this half-day of amazing backcountry skiing on the slopes of the beautiful Mt Mansfield, Vermont!

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!

Poor service from Explore-share! The vendor who provided the actual tour shared with Explore-share that heavy rains prevented them from doing a substantial section of the tour. I was not notified. The vendor also offered a substantial discount for what we were able to do and this was not shared with me either!

Neil was our guide and he was amazing! We did Camelback mountain climbing and he knew all about it and the other nearby mountains. Lots of great info and fun. I took my two boys, 9 and 11 years old plus climbed myself (44 years old). So perfect for all ages and skill levels. Definitely worth doing!!!

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
