Event Details
-

-
Post-adventure drink voucher for Copper Kettle Restaurant and Bar located at the base of the slopes (hot cocoa or an adult beverage).
-
Snowshoeing is a great group activity so gather your friends/family to join you on the mountain! However, larger groups may be accommodated with adequate notice. Contact us for details.
-
We recommend checking the weather forecast the day of your event! One thing that can ruin a snowshoe outing is not wearing the appropriate clothing! Dressing in layers or in clothes you can unzip and ventilate is ideal. Hats, gloves/mittens, goggles and face masks are also recommended if frigid. Some folks like to carry a small day pack with water and an extra clothing layer.
-
We recommend wool or wool blend socks to keep your feet warm. Any snow boots or hiking shoes will work.
