Event Details:

This is an indoor/outdoor event. Although some workshops are inside, make sure to dress for the weather – wool or synthetic layers are best. If you are going on a hike, bring a day pack and water bottles if you have them, along with multiple hats and gloves. You may also want an extra shirt and socks to have something dry to change into after hiking. We will have some snacks available to take out on your hike but please also pack snacks and lunch.

If you have snowshoes and microspikes already, please bring them! Snowshoe demos will be available to lend to those who don’t have any.

We hope that you will enjoy your hikes/workshops and then stay for the après party. We will be raffling off some exciting prizes!
