Itching to get outdoors this winter, but not quite sure where to start? Join GMC’s upcoming Intro to Winter Hiking Workshops! We have two convenient options:
Friday, December 16, 5:30 p.m. on ZOOM Saturday, January 7 10 a.m. IN PERSON These workshops provide 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, traction, sweat, handwarmers, navigation, trail-finding, hydration, Leave No Trace & more. The in-person
workshop will have the opportunity to review personal gear and clothing choices with our expert staff, and a self-guided hike on the beginner-friendly Short
Trail. A thorough understanding of safe winter travel in the backcountry is essential to enjoying Vermont’s outdoors during our long winters. Both events are
free and open to the public. Sign up here: https://www.greenmountainclub.org/educa…/events-workshops/
