Regardless of your experience level, snowshoeing is easy to pick up, and a great daytime experience to stay active during the colder months! During snowshoe trips, members learn how to use and fasten snowshoes, and get to meet other people in the Outing Club, as snowshoeing is similar to social hiking.

During the winter months (weather permitting), Snowshoe day trips to nearby areas in Madison (Picnic Point, the Arboretum, etc.) will be going out most weekends. These trips usually last a couple hours at most, so they are easy to slot into a busy schedule. These trips are also usually free of charge, making them an excellent way for people new to outdoor sports to get involved.

If you are interested in longer trips, snowshoeing is part of the famous Hoofers Delta Lodge trip, which happens every year over winter break in partnership with Cross Country Skiing. This trip is great for people looking to get more long-term exposure to winter sports, and we are hoping to get out more overnight trips like this one!
