Making Friends with Snow

December 10, 2010 By: Jacqueline Smith Category: Discover earth, Global Understanding No Comments →

I don’t know much about snow. I don’t know what clothes work best, or how to ski but I am curious. If you’d like to enjoy the SNOW more, get your snow bunny self over to REI. They have free/low cost classes in snow filled fun activities. Look under the outdoor school classes with this heading, there are many to choose from-  Snowsports Classes & Outings:

  • ATLAS Snowshoe Workshop
  • Full Moon Snowshoe Tour
  • Intro to Snowshoeing
  • Get ready for Winter Cycling
  • Snow camping Basics
  • Wildlife Photography
  • Family Snowshoeing

I have tried snowshoeing, and it is a blast. You see things that you never see when you are skiing and best of all it is at your own pace. The classes explain the basics or advanced skills and you are gathered together with curious outdoors folks, just like yourself.

CHECK on the dozens of classes – check out REI.COM for more information, times, costs and locations.
