February Clinics

Snowshoeing for Women
The ease of snowshoeing has led it to become one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Simply strap on a pair and go on a winter hike, backpack, or climb! Join the staff of REI as we put on another one of our famous "how to" clinics on the basics of snowshoeing for women. We will focus on the appropriate selection of female-specific gear and the initial skills needed to get you outside and on the trails. In addition, we will talk about some places to go. If you ever thought about getting into snowshoeing, this is a great introduction to the sport!

Winter Camping
Camping in winter can be a fun, warm and enjoyable experience, or it can be something of a bitter and chilly nightmare. Join Erik Filsinger, Professional Mountain guide and president of the Arizona Mountaineering Club, in a discussion of the tricks to making winter camping enjoyable. Learn strategies for clothing systems, tents, snow shelters, cooking and living in the cold. And get ready for some winter camping this upcoming and snowy winter in the Arizona high country. This is the same clinic as that offered by the Arizona Mountaineering Club’s Alpine seminar series. So join us and learn from a pro how to survive and enjoy a great winter camping retreat!
