“Reading this, you must consider that we were two intermediate level cross skiing individuals so we picked this organized activity instead of getting on our own to a cross country ski resort. The description lead us to believe that we would be in a natural offsite area were we would see the true out of beaten path nature. Based on the price that we paid, this activity was far from what we expected. First, the two of us were grouped with 6 other absolute beginners. We ended up doing back and forth in an absolutely flat bottom open air part of a resort with nothing close to wilderness. Our guide…”

He picked me up and dropped me off at my accommodations and ensured I was aware ahead of time of any gear I needed to have (and what gear he would have). He was personable, accommodating and very patient (my first time trying cross-country skiing!). The scenery was incredible, and Kyle went out of his way to include certain touches to make the tour unique and ensure that I enjoyed myself. Definitely recommend!!”
