White Mountains Winter Snowshoeing

Step into a frozen world few ever see—where snow-draped peaks, silent forests, and icy ridgelines create a stunning, challenging, and unforgettable experience. Our 5-day expedition through New Hampshire’s legendary White Mountains is built for adventure seekers ready to push their limits, embrace winter, and reconnect with nature on its rawest terms. 

This isn't your average winter getaway. It's a full-on backcountry expedition—navigating snow-covered trails by snowshoe, carrying all essentials on your back, and sleeping under the stars in one of the most beautiful (and rugged) mountain ranges in the Northeast. 

With ORC guides leading the way, you’ll learn essential winter travel skills, build confidence in cold-weather survival, and experience the magic of alpine wilderness when it’s at its most pristine and peaceful.
