  • Thursday, January 31, 10:00 am – 12:30 pm – Introduction to Snowshoeing for Seniors

    Enjoy a morning of camaraderie and exercise outdoors with other active seniors ages 50 and older. Lightweight aluminum snowshoes are the perfect tools for gaining grip on snowy or icy terrain and using ski poles gives extra contact points to further increase stability in a variety of winter conditions. After an indoor introduction to equipment, participants will practice techniques on flat terrain and gentle hills. Wear wind pants or gaiters if you have them and dress in warm layers that can be shed as we get moving. No prior experience is necessary. The program will take place Thursday, January 31, from 10 – 12:30 at Northfield Mountain. Free, with $16 rental if needed. For details, call 1-800-859-2960 or email northfield@gdfsuezna.com.
