Singles Backwoods Snow Sledding

Thrilling sledding & marshmallow roasting!

We have found the perfect sledding hill that you do not have to share with the throngs of people in Central Park! We will transport you an hour drive from Manhattan. Then, jump out of the van and free your inner eight-year-old as you enjoy a fun-filled day of sledding with other active singles! Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing is also a possibility here.

We provide the sleds, hot cocoa, marshmallows and the toasty fire. (Did we mention our gourmet chocolate-stuffed marshmallows?!) Wear your sledding clothes and boots and get ready to have a great day playing in the fluffy white stuff. You will be back in time for dinner.

Testimonials

Thanks Outdoor Bound, for an amazing day in the snow! I’d never snowshoed before and was deeply gratified to finally reach the summit of Giant Ledge to discover the stunning wintry view below. It was also fun to get such a great workout in while making connections with new people. As always, the trip was meticulously planned and the guide (Joe) trustworthy and knowledgeable. Looking forward now to some springtime adventure!
