Skiing and Riding

Cross Country skiing from the Mt. Philo Inn

Veteran telemark skier Steve Kantor gets first tracks on the newly accessible North slope of Mt. Philo after a recent dump, with Izzie taking lessons.

Our original Carriage Road leads directly to Mt. Philo State Park, where the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers maintains a snowmobile trail!  Impeccably groomed, from here you can travel anywhere in the state. Mt. Philo itself offers skiers a short energetic ride down. A great training run, with glade skiing through the maples and on the North slope!.
