Snow shoeing, Ice Climbing, and plenty of Skiing!!

I've decided it's been way too long since I've last talked about the Wilderness Program. In the winter the Wilderness Program runs so many trips in a variety of outdoor sports. Here are some of the trips that have been going out on the weekends this semester!
*SNOW SHOEING 
*ICE CLIMBING 
* TELEMARK SKIING 
*ALPINE SKIING
*LEARN TO SKI 
*DOG SLEDDING (Christmas Break trip!)






Who knew you could have this much fun in the snow? I'm not a huge fan of really cold weather, but I love being a leader and getting to go outside on weekends and explore Vermont in the winter! I think one of my favorite trips would have to be my snow shoeing trip that I led a few weeks ago! We snow shoed Nebraska Notch which is right around Mt. Mansfield. We had beautiful weather, not to cold, not to warm,and  lite flurries. There was five of us and we had quite an adventure on the trail and ended up meeting so many couples and people out that morning. On our way back we had to descend a pretty steep "hill" so we ended up sliding down on our butts wishing we had a sled. The day was a success and I can't wait to get back outside this weekend to Ski!!
