We will leave the Meany Campus around 2 pm, for the downhill snowshoe trek back to the parking lot, arriving between 4:00 and 5:00 PM.
No previous snow-shoeing experience required, but you should be able to walk at least 8 miles at a medium pace.

Required Equipment
Bring your own snowshoes if you have them. Meany Lodge does have extra snowshoes but you need to confirm ahead of time to reserve them.
Wear sturdy (rigid) hiking or mountaineering boots; tennis shoes and soft "snow boots" are not sturdy enough to attach to snowshoes.
Dress in layers to control your temperature, bring a hat, gloves, and raingear. Water resistant breathable pants are ideal, do not bring jeans.
Gaiters are recommended but are not required.
Hiking poles are recommended but are not required.
