Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing in the woods is a great way to experience the quiet, to see signs of wildlife, and get great exercise during winter. There are two ways to enjoy Sugarbush woods on snowshoes: either self-guided access to designated terrain or guided tours into Slide Brook Wildlife Management Area. You choose.

Out-back Guided Snowshoe Tours |
|
Our Outback Guide leads your snowshoe adventure into Slide Brook Basin, home territory of bear, moose, deer, coyote, bobcat, lynx and turkeys. Two types of tour will be available in 2010/2011: aerobic tours and nature-study tours. Both travel the same routes, with one being a faster work-out, while at a slower pace, the other studies the basin’s habitat and signs of its inhabitants.
