The Snowshoe Events
The Snowshoe events are designed for everyone. If you can walk 5-miles you will finish.  There will be great competition for the endorphin junkies and great scenery and camaraderie for those looking for a little outdoor adventure. The two events make up the largest snowshoe race in the Northwest. In 2010 more than 200 are expected to participate.
