This event is snow-dependent! While we are hoping to get our winter season started on December 16th, if trails are not snowy enough will we have to cancel. Located in easy-to-access downtown, this snowshoe tour features a chair lift to get the group up near the top of the hike (weather permitting lift use). The tour winds through multiple ecosystems full of signs of wildlife with an amazing view of the valley looking out towards the Steamboat Ski Resort.
