We’re looking for a battalion of serious snowshoers. Or one really tough snowshoer. We’ve got a couple wonderful snowshoe trails that are in real need of packing before the next storm comes along. The 1.8-mile South Park snowshoe loop offers wonderful and diverse scenery, and usually is a pleasant, mild-to-moderate walk. Then there is the new “Rock Ridge” trail that climbs up from the Chiwawa Sno-Park – 600′ elevation gain and great views . . . moderately challenging on a good day – but with this snow? A gut-buster. 30″ of new, light snow (more on the way) presents an opportunity for those with BIG snowshoes to put them to use in conditions they were intended for. Breaking trail in these conditions is hard work!
If any of you out there enjoy snowshoeing, a good challenge and workout, and are familiar with the routes . . . we really could use your help! 30″ – 36″ snowshoes would be much appreciated by the trail-breaker.
