A must-do in winter! - Snowshoeing through knee-deep snow was such a fun and unique experience. Being from the UK, this is not something we ever really experience. It definitely harder than you think but overall something to add to your bucket list! Brian was a great guide, highly recommended.

Amazing snowshoeing experience, highly recommend it! - I had THE BEST TIME doing this activity and I highly recommend it to everybody! The level of fitness required was moderate for someone who has never snowshoed in deep snow before but don't let that or the cold deter you because it is worth the amazing views. Definitely bundle up because the "top of the world" is cold. My group's guides, Scott and Emilio, were awesome - very knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we were all safe at all times. Again, super fun and well worth it 100%!!

Back country snow shoe adventure - Unique and truly amazing backcountry experience. We highly recommend this adventure to anyone who is looking for something a little different, a little off the beaten path, and more than a little memorable! Jack was an extremely personable tour guide who was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond customizing the adventure to fit our skill level and interests. This exceeded our expectations ;) Thanks! 🥑

Great tour, Great guide. - This was a fantastic tour. Jen was one of the best guides I've ever had for anything. Fun, spirited, knowledgable and safety conscious. I definitely recommend this and would do another tour with Jen if I get the chance. (I bet the other guides are pretty good too :)

Sunshine Snowshoeing makes for incredible memories - The snowshoe at the top of the Earth was an incredible experience! We had mountain peaks around us in all directions, sunshine, and blue sky. six of us were on the tour with our guide Josh. It was a perfect bluebird day! The snowshoe started with Standish viewpoint. We then headed through some pristine spring snow toward Rock Isle Lake where the views were incredible. After a stop for hot chocolate and cookies, we headed back adjacent to the ski terrain. We were glad we had water and sunglasses for our beautiful day. It was definitely a spring day to dress in layers. Josh was very pleasant and engaging as a guide. He made a point to chat with each of us on the tour with restaurant recommendations.
