Whether you are just renting the snowshoes
and are heading out alone, or with a group, get a local weather
forecast. Conditions can sometimes change abruptly and you need
to be prepared. Know your limits. Anytime you
are going out on a winter trail, make sure someone knows where you
will be snowshoeing, and the time of your expected return. Also
remember, always pack out what you pack in.
We offer private, family and group tours. If you are coming to
town for company meetings and have some free time, e-mail or call
us and we will arange a fun snowshoe tour for you.
Depending on the sign-up and popularity of the snowshoe tours this
winter, scheduling of tours will be made by reservation and demand.
We have Atlas and MSR snowshoe rentals. (hiking series) ski-poles
included. Other rentals are available on a limited basis. (gators,
fannypacks, backpacks.) |

What to wear and what
to bring - snowshoe requirements
On Your Body:
Snowshoeing is an aerobic activity. Be prepared to get quite warm while
you're trekking, but you will cool off quickly when you stop. A system
of layers of clothing is the best way to address the temperature fluctuations.
A simple wool hat is also an effective way to conserve body heat and prevent
a chill.
For the Hands:
A light weight pair of gloves for the ascent, and a pair of warm gloves
for the descent. Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. Goggles if snow
is in the forecast.
On Your Feet:
Choose boots that are warm, comfortable and will keep your feet dry. Socks
made from wool or silk are best, as they wick away wetness and allow your
feet to stay dry. To keep the snow out of your boots, we recommend gators.
(rentals available)
Ample Food and Water:
Plan on a pint of water per person per hour and enough snacks to keep
the energy level high. Bring a small backpack for day tours. A fannypack
for 2 to 3 HR tours. ( Rentals are available).
