Snowshoe with a View
Snowshoeing is a fun way to mix things up on the mountain with tons of scenic trails, sights along the way and infinite photo-worthy moments. The bottom line is, if you can walk, you can snowshoe.
Don’t forget to end your trek properly, with a cup of hot chocolate in hand next to a firepit.
