SUMMARY:Beginner Snowshoe Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Beginner Snowshoe Workshop\n Sunday\, February 1 / 9 AM – 12 PM \n$22 General Public\, $18 VINS Members\n(Includes snowshoe rental and admission to the Nature Center after the workshop) \nThis workshop is designed for ages 13+ \nRegister Today \nWould you like to get outside in the winter but worry about not having the right gear? Not sure how to stay warm while spending time outdoors in the snow? Join VINS volunteer\, Doug Cohen\, for a class that will help you enjoy the outdoors comfortably and safely this winter. \nWith over 40 years of outdoor adventuring experience\, Doug will share his wintertime expertise in this workshop. Learn how to stay warm through proper layering\, what types of food help maintain energy\, and get introduced to the basic equipment you’ll need. Bring your questions and be ready for a fun time. This class is perfect for anyone looking to learn how to enjoy the winter season. \nThe first part of the class will be spent inside discussing the realities of winter—its good\, bad\, and challenging aspects. In the second part we’ll head outside to cover equipment essentials as well as basic snowshoe techniques. Weather permitting\, we will strap on snowshoes and explore the VINS Nature Center. If there is not sufficient snow for snowshoeing\, we’ll hit the trail for some cold-weather hiking on VINS’ trails. \nDetails for Participants:\nParticipants should dress to spend part of this class outside. Participants should bring/wear a hat\, gloves\, warm socks\, a jacket\, snacks & refillable water bottle. Optional items include treking/ski poles\, snowpants and snowshoes. Registration fee includes snowshoe rental from VINS. \nInstructor Bio:\nDoug Cohen has been an avid hiker since the age of 10\, beginning his journey in the Adirondacks before exploring the trails of Oregon\, and ultimately spending the last 40 years hiking throughout the White Mountains. During his time in the Whites\, he led Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) trips year-round for over a decade\, with a particular love for fall and winter outings. Doug taught snowshoeing classes for Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) and later\, while working at REI\, taught classes in hiking\, backpacking\, day hiking\, and snowshoeing. Doug is passionate about teaching people how to enjoy the outdoors safely and loves sharing his expertise with outdoor enthusiasts of all levels. \nFor more information\, contact us at 802.359.5000 or events@vinsweb.org.
