Snowshoeing

A great way to enjoy your local trails all winter long!

It truly is almost as easy as walking. And it doesn't require a huge investment in the gear and equipment needed to get started. CMC Snowshoe Schools are designed to give you introductory knowledge about snowshoes. They are designed for specific body weight, stride width, and terrain. We have schools across the front range that teach this valuable skill during the winter season. Use the table of contents to the right to explore the different regions that offer classes, and be sure to explore our most current course catalog to see what classes and course are being offered right now.
