Trip Type: Cross-Country and Snowshoeing

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Classic & Skate L1-2, the classic beginners' series second session (no new participants allowed) and an Intermediate/Advanced hill clinic (for both skate and classic) will be offered if safe and there is enough interest. Guided snowshoeing will be offered.

Registration opens January 29 at 9pm.

Conditions: given the forecast for the week and weekend, conditions are likely to be "machine groomed granular" - hard packed with loose snow on top. Highlands is one of the best groomed resorts in the business though. For beginners, they do have some flat trails (Teal's Tango and the Green trail) and our instructors are there to help in lessons. There is also guided snowshoeing as an option. Should be a nice weekend to get of the city!
