- You like steeps at Castlerock and Vermont's highest chairlift.
Trade the city pavement for the deep-valley chill of the Mad River and the scent of Vermont balsam.
Leave the Friday grind in the rearview. We’re heading to “The Bush,” where the terrain is raw and the vibe is purely independent. This isn’t just a weekend trip; it’s an OvR takeover. We’re setting up shop in the Mad River Valley to tackle 111 trails across two massive peaks. Spend your mornings charging the legendary steeps of Castlerock at Lincoln Peak and your afternoons hitting the highest chairlift in Vermont at Mt. Ellen. When the lifts stop, the real mission begins with the hotel all to ourselves. Since we have private access, you can expect an exclusive, high-energy retreat where the drinks flow, the fireplace stays stoked, and the house-party energy feels like a weekend at a friend’s mountain estate.
You’ll head back to reality on Sunday night feeling like an honorary local. You won’t just return with a better edge; you’ll return as part of the OvR family, backed by a crew of new riding buddies and memories from a mountain hideaway.

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.
