Description | With the Holyoke Range trails adjacent to campus, and with many local touring centers in western Massachusetts, cross country skiing is the perfect sport for New England winters! This mini-course will focus on recreational touring on cross country skis, winter preparedness and safety in the 'backcountry.' *Snow conditions permitting, we will use trails in the Holyoke range. Some classes may need to utilize local touring centers, where there may be a small trail fee. All equipment and clothing can be borrowed from the Outdoor Program with a valid ID. Participants should be in good physical condition. *In the event of poor snow conditions, snowshoes and or hiking may be used as a substitute activity. |
