Where local knowledge turns Vermont adventures into lasting memories.
About 4 Points VT
4 Points VT is owned & operated by Rick Sokoloff & Marina Meerburg, long-time Stowe residents, mountain bikers, and brewery enthusiasts.
In the early 2000s, Rick co-founded the Stowe mountain bike club (now Stowe Trails Partnership), and served as the president for over ten years. During that time, he helped develop a vast network of trails and a significant mountain bike community. What was missing was an easy way for people to get started and a guide service for visiting riders.
Drawing on his experience as a ski instructor, he saw a clear need for instruction. Like skiing, mountain biking is not always intuitive. He became certified by the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) and has been teaching new and intermediate riders with great results. Rick believes that to get the maximum from the sport and for safety’s sake, everyone would benefit from attending a clinic.
4 Points added brewery tours when a friend, who happened to be a brewery owner, suggested that they would be an obvious – and perfect – fit for Rick. Vermont is the epicenter of phenomenal craft beer with many very close by.
Rick and Marina first met in the Austrian Alps where they were both working as tour guides. 4 Points VT has evolved from a mountain bike instruction & guide service to offer more ways of experiencing Vermont, including brewery tours, artisan tours, bachelor parties & bachelorette party tours and transportation, corporate outing tours, e-bike tours, family reunion tours, Stowe VT scenic tours, Vermont history tours, and custom specialty tours.
