Snowshoeing is a great way to enjoy local trails and keep up your conditioning all winter long. It truly is almost as easy as walking. And it doesn't require a huge investment in the gear and equipment needed to get started.
This Denver-based one-day-in-the-field course supplies each student with a snowshoe/pole kit for the day. Wear your own waterproof boots and tall gaiters. If you prefer, bring your own kit (snowshoes and ski/hiking poles with snow baskets).
Sign up for ONE class date only and if all classes you'd like to join are full, join NO MORE than two wait lists. If you are moved from a wait list to a roster, please immediately cancel out of any other wait list, to give others a chance. If you break this rule you will have to wait until next year to take this class.
Field venue: We will advise you where we are planning to go a day or two before class day with updated weather and venue info. Where we go will depend on snow conditions (and if there is snow). Each Instructor has a preferred backup venue.

Come dressed for a day in the snow and bring your ten essentials including a lunch or hardy snacks you can eat on the move. The provided snowshoe kit does not include boots, because any water resistant boots will work. Wear your own winter hiking boots and tall gaiters.
