This is the first of two evening lectures which, along with a field trip, make up the requirements to graduate from the Foothills Introduction to Snowshoeing course. The first lecture will include general winter gear and snowshoe-specific gear, gear rental and purchase options, snowshoe trip planning, winter safety, avalanche and terrain awareness, snowshoe movement techniques, relevant winter activity-related websites and other resources and area snowshoe destinations and routes.
In addition to the lecture, slideshow, and Q&A, there will also be snowshoe gear tables set-up for students to peruse and ask question about, with examples of different kinds of snowshoes, appropriate boots, outerwear, gaiters, poles and other gear essentials.
6:30-9PM in the Eagle Room at Issaquah City Hall. Google map location at https://goo.gl/maps/xT7dShCnwVQ
