Event Details
We will have 3-4 hours of snowshoeing depending on snow conditions. For those pooped-out our shuttle and driver will stand by to take you to the Summit Central bar for sustenance, rest, and libation. At 3:00pm we will pick everyone up and head back to Capitol Hill with an approximate 4:00pm drop off time.
We will keep on top of the snow reports to ensure we have a great and safe experience. With the last few days and upcoming weather cold front we'll be having a great new coverage of snow for our trip.
Date: Saturday, 2/22/14
Tour Duration: 7 hours
Destination: Snoqualmie Pass
Pick up Location: Starbucks "Gaybucks" 1600 E. Olive Way, Capitol Hill.
Price: $70
Discount: If you have your equipment that you'd like to use vs using the rental snowshoes, you can use code "Noequipment15" for a $15 no equipment needed discount.
Note: We need a minimum of 10 people in order for the trip to happen. In the event that we don't have the minimum number of guests a cancellation email will be sent out 48 hours prior to the event.
Clothing
Lightweight ski pants, rain pants with long underwear, snowboarding pants lined with a little fleece layer or regular trekking pants will work well. Snow in Western Washington is quite wet, so you’ll want something water resistant.
Layer your upper body with a quick-dry piece close to your body then a fleece jacket that can be unzipped for ventilation. You want to be a little cold when you start because you will warm up quickly.
Footwear
You’ll want warm, waterproof boots. If your hiking boots come with materials like Gore-tex, they will be just fine
