Take a Mountaineering Skills course through Redline Guiding! This is a super intensive yet fun way to spend half a day.

Learn how to use crampons (or any traction), properly. Understand the choreography between the ice and axe your feet. Learn to rest step onto the higher ridges to conserve energy, and learn to breathe when the air thins as you climb.

Training for something special? You can include any special objectives or learning desires you may have for this course.


Spend your weekend exploring the outdoors on snowshoes and hike to stunning views of Crawford Notch, gorgeous frozen waterfalls, or serene lakes. Learn winter hiking safety and tricks for winter comfort in a fun, small group setting. Outdoor Guides will open your eyes to winter natural history - learn to read signs of animal activity, understand winter ecology, and identify the plants and animals that thrive in winter.

Enjoy cozy nights in the Lodge and frosty days on the trail.
HELP THE VALLEY STAY OPEN!
The valley is excited to welcome you to one of the best places on Earth! Please help it stay open by respecting state and individual business mandates when it comes to wearing a mask and other COVID-19 protocols. And remember, we're all in this together, so be kind!
