Embrace winter by learning basic snowshoeing terminology, turning, going up and down small hills, going over obstacles easily, and why going backwards usually isn’t a good idea on this exciting snowshoe adventure! You’ll learn snowshoeing tips and tricks as well as the history of snowshoeing as we traverse beautiful snow-covered trails. The entire program will be spent outside; please dress appropriately for the weather. Dressing in non-cotton layers is encouraged. For snowshoeing, no special boots are required, but waterproof footwear that goes above your ankles is recommended. Classes will begin promptly, so plan to arrive early.
