3 Days 2 nights

Day 1 - Cross Country Skiing

Vermont was the first state in the nation to develop a network of private and public trails which provide the perfect backdrop for a day's outing with its rolling terrain and tons of snow allowing you to ski leisurely through the woods. It is an adventure not to be missed. You'll be provided with all equipment, thorough instruction as you learn to cross country ski plus you'll get "trail tips" whilst on your guided cross country ski tour.

 Day 2 - Alpine Skiing or Snowboarding

Learn to Ski or learn to snowboard in a day at Jay Peak Resort. This package includes full equipment setup, 2 hours of instruction and a beginner zone ticket. Four lifts access 80 acres of gentle wide, easy to maneuver slopes, including the most intermediate and beginner glades in the East. The Beginner Zone at Jay Peak Resort also includes two freestyle areas (the Grom Park and Rail Garden), designed for entry-level skiers and riders.

Discover the silence and serenity of the woods on a guided snowshoe tour. No previous snowshoe experience is necessary. If you can walk a straight line you can learn to snowshoe. Whilst snowshoeing in this 150 acre tract of pristine northern Vermont forest offering mountain vistas and glacier rocks, you'll keep an eye out for moose, deer, wild turkeys, foxes, white snow-rabbits and other wildlife who call the Jay area home. You'll learn to identify tracks in the snow, trees with bear markings (don't worry, you won't be seeing any bears in the winter) and as an added bonus, you will go "geocaching" searching for hidden treasure using a GPS system. This tour lasts about 3 hours ending with hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows around a campfire.
