Hike on all
types of terrain: flat trails, or steep wooded hill sides!
|
Equipment:
We use MSR (Mountain
Safety Research) Denali Classic or Ascent snowshoes. We believe
these snowshoes are the best technical terrain showshoe on the market.
They have toe crampons for uphill traction and side-stablizing cleats
for traction on angled traverses or hill sides. The Ascent models
feature a flip-up heel support to help reduce the fatigue on your
calves as you walk up hill. Both models also feature easy adjusting
binding systems that can be operated while wearing gloves or mittens.
Personal Equipment:
Participants should supply their own clothing appropriate for the
weather. Shell pants and jackets with plenty of insulating layers
under are best. Waterproof boots are a must. A hat and gloves/mittens
should also be worn.
