This workshop provides hands-on winter-specific information where you will learn what to wear, what to bring and what gear you need for a safe and successful winter trip. We will discuss clothing, layering, socks, footwear, snowshoes, sweat, handwarmers, navigation, trail-finding, hydration, traction, Leave No Trace & more.
