- Browse all upcoming snowshoe activities.

A quiet, blissful way to gain some winter conditioning, snowshoe travel proves a delightful alternative to skiing. Most of the summer's hiking trails turn into excellent snowshoe routes during the snow season. Take a course and learn about equipment, conditioning, avalanche safety and how to camp overnight in the snow. This course is required to participate in trips of a moderate level or above, although equivalency status can be granted for those with the appropriate experience. Contact the committee in your branch for details. Also, those members who have completed either the Basic Climbing Course or Alpine Scrambling Course will be able to participate in all snowshoe trips.



A Beginners Special at Meany Lodge

Each Saturday through March 1, a 2.5-mile leisurely snow shoe trip is offered to people of all ages to the Meany Lodge for a hot lunch and return on a prepared winter trail. You may even see dog sleds using the same trails! Meet at Crystal Springs Snowpark (exit 62 off of I-90) 8:30 am.

Those staying overnight can join 1-2 hour trips originating from the lodge on Sunday.

To Register for the $10 Program L - Snowshoeing Trek + Lunch, simply go to the Meany registration page at Brown Paper Tickets and scroll down to the bottom and click on last event.
