Why ski at Viking?
"...mainly I enjoy (Viking) for the fun trails and because it’s run with flair and a sense of humor." Jonathan Weisel, nordic ski writer par excellence
Those pictures of stern Nordic skiers, working hard, icicles hanging from their beards - that's not us. At Viking we're all about fun; fun on the trails, and fun before and after skiing. Come ski with us and you'll go home with a smile on your face. You will find yourself trying to figure out how quickly you can come back.
Our trails have been recognized by experts for their quality and mix of terrain. We've got wooded beginner loops with limited climbs and easy downhills designed to get you comfortable on skis and keep you close to the center of the trail system. We've got longer intermediate loops that take you further into the Vermont countryside. Choose to ski past meandering streams and rivers, through a beautiful pine forest, past beaver ponds, and to scenic overlooks. And for you experts, we've got side loops with long challenging climbs and super down hill runs.
All our trails are groomed for skating and classical techniques, but we don't subscribe to the flat-and-wide-boulevard school of trail making. We've worked hard to maintain a classic Vermont ambiance out on our trail system. This is why our trails have been called "some of the sweetest skiing around". Our team of trail groomers are some of the best in the business, and they work wonders with all types of snow in order to give you the very best ski experience possible.
So, what are we serious about? We're serious about grooming our trails so you have the best time skiing, we're serious about renting and selling you the right equipment for your needs, both now and in the future, we're serious about rewarding skiing with a cookie, we're serious about offering great on-site lodging at a reasonable price, we're serious about posting accurate ski reports, and of course, we are serious about you having fun.
