Guests can enjoy a family snowshoe tour through the Billings Farm (well known for their beautiful sunflower garden trail in summer), take a nordic ski tour to the Mt. Tom Cabin for a private family or couples lunch, try a private ski or snowboard lesson at the nearby Suicide 6 Ski & Ride school nearby or go out on a fatbike tour of the Mt. Peg trails.
