Participants are asked to bring binoculars and snowshoes, and to dress appropriately. The walks will end with hot cocoa or coffee in the VIC building. Snowshoe rentals available. Please register by calling the VIC 327-6241. Cost: $10.00 for VIC Season Pass Holders, $20.00 for others (includes a day pass)
