Backcountry skiing on the Teardrop Trail, Mt. Mansfield (West side)

A fantastic back country skiing route, the Teardrop Trail is a great place to enjoy some beautiful winter scenery. There are also some amazing descents as well.

Located in the Underhill State Park in Vermont, on the west side of Mount Mansfield (1,340m), near Stowe, the Teardrop Trail is a true classic for back country skiers in Vermont.

In existence since the 1930s, the trail is approximately 1.8 miles long and involves a nearly 2000 feet ascent. Steep and arduous, climbing skins are required. However, the descent that you will get to enjoy as a result, while also slightly challenging, as it has several sharp turns, steep drop and double fall lines, is wonderfully exciting and memorable.

Along with being in good physical condition, participants on this trip should also have some prior skiing experience.

By the end of the day, you will have enjoyed some amazing views of Mount Mansfield, as well as the surrounding landscape. You will have also enjoyed some amazing skiing as well. To join me on this expedition, just send us a request. We have no doubt you’ll have a great time.

We also offer a split boarding option of this trip, which you can enjoy here.
