Introduction to Snowshoeing at the Richmond Beach Library

Start to Fitness: Introduction to Snowshoeing

Tuesday, November 18, 7pm

Over the last 20 years, snowshoeing has been the fastest growing outdoor winter sport. The ease with which beginners can become accomplished snowshoers helps explain this growth, as does the relatively low cost of entering the sport.

Author and snowshoe review specialist Dan Nelson will describe the techniques, safety concerns and destinations needed to help get you into the winter wilderness safely.

Nelson is executive editor of Signpost for Northwest Trails, a monthly backcountry recreation magazine published by the Washington Trails Association. He wrote Snowshoe Routes-Washington, and wrote the following Day Hiking titles; Day Hiking: Mount Rainier, Day Hiking: Snoqualmie Region, Day Hiking: South Cascades.

Nelson was the co-author of Pacific Northwest Hiking: The Complete Guide (Foghorn, 1995). He is also an outdoor recreation feature writer and columnist for The Seattle Times and a frequent contributor to Backpacker magazine.
