Learn to Snowshoe or Ski for Free: January 12
Here in Maine we’ve had an impressive amount of snow already—great for those of us who love to snowshoe and cross-country ski. If you or a friend or family member have yet to get outside and try these rewarding winter activities, then next weekend, January 12, is a perfect opportunity.
Newcomers to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing (that includes kids!) can try these snow sports for free at more than 100 locations in the U.S. and Canada as part of Winter Trails 2008 on Saturday, January 12. A second Winter Trails event is scheduled for February 16 in Estes Park, Colorado.
Programs and activities vary in size and scope, so visit the Winter Trails web site to find a location near you and for specific event details. The site’s Learn a Sport & News section also includes info on getting started and what to wear (think layers, no cotton). Trailspace also has a “How to Choose Snowshoes” gear guide article, for those who get hooked on the sport.
Winter is a wonderful time for the whole family to get outside. So if you’ve always wanted to try snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, but didn’t know where to start, take advantage of Winter Trails.
