High Country Snowmobile Tours at Mount Snow are guided tours through the Green Mountain National Forest. Tours are customized and provided for all riding abilities. You will experience a variety of terrain ranging from thick wooded pines to wide-open stretches. In order to operate the snowmobile you must be at least 18 years of age. All snowmobiles are new Ski-Doo's touring ELT's, 380 cc and can accommodate two people. We ask that children be at least 4 years of age to ride as passengers. This sport is not recommended for anyone with back problems or anyone who is pregnant.
To make your day more enjoyable we recommend that you dress sensibly: a coat, snowpants, boots and gloves are a must. We do not rent clothing, however we do have clothing available if necessary. We also ask that you arrive 20 minutes prior to your reservation time dressed and ready to go. Oh, and don’t forget your camera! Tours leave from the Lift Operations Building (building to the right of the Discovery Center). This is also where check-in will take place.

Sleigh Rides
Adams Farm Sleigh Rides
It’s sleigh ride season at the Adams Farm. Since 1980 the Adams Farm has offered afternoon and evening traditional Vermont sleigh rides pulled by Belgian draft horses, through the maple sugar grove, up along the ridge of their mountain, to an old log cabin for a warm up by the wood fires before coming back down the mountain. At the cabin, visitors warm up by the fire, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and some tunes from the player piano. Sleigh rides are offered days and evenings as well as special sleigh rides for Christmas Eve, the New Year, full moons and Valentine’s Day.
For more details or reservations call 802-464-3762 or email farmfun@sover.net.
