Snowshoeing


Dashing through the snow is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the wintertime, get some exercise, and have fun all at the same time! Our resort offers ample terrain where you can snowshoe on your own or with a scheduled group tour. Whether with a group or out on your own, we’ll help you plan a route that suits your experience and confidence. Snowshoeing is dependent on snow accumulation and weather conditions. Contact the Outdoor Center for trail reports and changes to scheduled tours.
