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.
