Learn the gear, maintenance, safety and beginner level techniques for this entry into the winter wonderland for many people and a common activity on the winter schedule. This is also a wonderful way of beating the ever rising resort lift ticket fees and crowds.

Classroom sessions will be in Colorado Springs, on 30 December and 2 January, 1800 - 2100. Location details will be provided to registered students by the Course Leader.

If you don't own snowshoes, they can be rented from REI or other local outdoor gear retailers.
