Winter Weekend Tours

Posted in General, Things to Do, Winter at Garnet Hill

We offer guided snowshoe tours each weekend on based on guide availability.  They are free to guests and $10 to non-guests.  Please inquire at the Front Desk or the Outdoor Center for details and to sign up.  Stop by or call (518) 251-2444.

Snowshoe Tours

Leaving from the Outdoor Center, these treks are a great way to get out in the woods and learn about local history along the way.  Some of our favorite destinations include William Blake Pond, Hooper Mine and Balm of Gilead Mountain.  The destination will be determined based on participants ability and interest as well as the current weather and conditions.  Expect to be out for 1-2 hours.  Snowshoe rentals are complimentary for lodge guests or $20 for non-guests.

Cross Country Ski Tours

Join us for an intermediate-level tour of the cross country ski trails.  We will take you out to experience the best that Garnet Hill has to offer this weekend based on trail conditions and participants interests/abilities.  Please note that this is not a lesson, but rather a chance to get out on the trails and cover some fantastic terrain with a guide.  Expect to be out for 1-2 hours.

Backcountry Ski Tours

Backcountry ski tours can be provided, but must be booked in advance.  Rentals for backcountry skis are also available, but rental orders must be made over the phone with limited availability for $40 per rental (this does not include the tour fee).
