Winter Trails Day

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Jamie Brady   comments

 

Snowboarding and downhill skiing get more attention, but cross country skiing and snowshoeing are two terrific winter activities that you should not overlook. In addition to being a fun way to get out in nature, they are also great options for staying in shape over the winter. And, the learning curve is relatively small - especially compared to their downhill cousins - allowing you to jump right in.

The 19th annual Winter Trails Day, on January 11, 2014, is a nationwide event meant to introduce these fun activities to people of all ages. The event is held at nearly 100 venues, including resorts, nordic centers, trail systems and state and national parks. Equipment rental fees and trail fees are free for this event. 11,000 kids and adults each year participate in Winter Trails Day. You can find many of the participating venues listed below. Members of Xploritall can add these places to their wishlist to create their own custom travel guides (Register for free).

Obviously the experience, size, and scope will vary by venue. Many venues will offer both snowshoeing AND cross country skiing, while some will only be offering snowshoeing. You can contact the venue directly if you need more details.

>> Register for Winter Trails Day here (some venues may require additional registration)
