Do you like adventures in remote areas with rugged landscapes? Then this backcountry skiing excursion on Big Jay Peak is for you!
The Big Jay Peak is the tallest in Vermont and a magnet for ski enthusiasts. The Jay Peak Resort is the traditional go-to place for those looking for some fun in the snow. However, those looking for an adventure can also explore this stunning mountain in Vermont by going off-piste and into the resort’s surrounding woods. Those that wish to explore the more remote corners of the mountain can join us on this backcountry skiing tour on the Big Jay!
In order to start our backcountry experience, we must access the mountain through the resort. Then, we will need to hike for one or two hours depending on the conditions. It is important to do this with an experienced guide that knows the region. Not only will you receive the proper guidance and help, but you will also avoid getting lost. Certainly not recommended as you will be far away from any kind of assistance! On our tour, we will get the chance to ski between tight trees and try some challenging snow experiences. Perfect for adventure lovers!
Because this is a challenging excursion, it is important that you have a very good fitness level. We also require that you have previous skiing experience. We will be there all the way to assist and guide you on this exhilarating backcountry skiing experience.
Are you ready to explore one of the biggest mountains in Vermont? Book your place now and join us on a unique day in the Vermont mountains!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
