Perfect if
- You want the biggest vertical in the East across six peaks.
- You want the choice of a fast day trip or a full weekend.
- You are in it for legendary apres at the Pickle Barrel.
Swap the hum of the city for the roar of the “Beast” and the high-octane aroma of crisp alpine pine and Vermont’s most notorious après-ski scene.
Whether you need a lightning-fast mountain strike or a multi-day immersion into the East Coast’s biggest vertical, we’ve got your coordinates locked. Leave the logistics and the icy stretches of I-87 to us while you mentally prep for six peaks of mayhem. We operate on a dual-threat schedule:
- For Day Trips – We’ll pick you up early and get you home by late evening after a full day of riding.
- For Weekends – Enjoy first chair laps, legendary après-ski sessions at the Pickle Barrel, and “victory runs” across six distinct peaks before heading back to the city.
You’ll pull back into the city feeling physically exhausted but mentally on fire. You aren’t just coming home with a data file of vertical feet tracked; you’re returning as an insider in the NYC shred scene, backed by a new circle of friends and the legendary memories of the summit of East Coast mountain culture.

THE OVRRIDE BUS
We’ve dialed in the ultimate routes to get you out of the city sprawl and into the mountains while the corduroy is still fresh. We’re built for speed, but all pickup times are subject to the whims of mountain weather and winter traffic – so stay flexible and we’ll handle the heavy lifting.
Riding with OvR isn’t a commute; it’s a shred mission on wheels. Leave the snowy drives and parking hunts to us while you kick back in a high-comfort, high-energy cabin. We keep the stoke high with the heater cranked and free après drinks waiting for you once the lifts stop spinning.
Looking for the inside line? We’re famous for dropping exclusive goodies and freebies on select trips. Get locked in, stay sharp, and keep a close eye on our newsletter and socials for the next round of announcements.
