FAQs
How long do you hike?
We meet at 12:00 p.m. to get geared up and then hit the trails. You can follow along with a CPF guide for a group snowshoe walk or strike out on your own route. We typically finish up around 1:30 p.m., but you can head back earlier or stay out longer. It’s up to you!
Can anyone snowshoe?
All ages and experience levels are welcome—especially beginners! Come by yourself, bring a friend, or bring your family. We’ve had kids as young as four years old on hikes. Depending on the number of attendees, we can split into groups according to ability level.
What should I wear?
Dress for the weather (dress in layers and avoid cotton) and wear comfortable winter footwear/hiking boots.
What if I don’t own snowshoes?
That’s no problem! Thanks to FROSTY (Friends of Stoney Pond), there are shoes you can borrow in a range of adult, youth, and kids’ sizes.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs on leash are allowed on CPF trails. For snowshoe events, it tends to work well if you and your dog(s) walk ahead of/behind the main group to ensure that other shoers aren't getting tripped up. It's possible that someone else may bring a dog, so if you know that your pet tends to prefer people over other dogs, perhaps it's best to leave Fido at home for this one.
What is there is no snow?
Even if there is not enough to snowshoe, we will still host a winter hike, unless the trails are too icy. Be sure to check the CPF website event page before heading out on the day of your event. We’ll post any cancellations due to weather or trail conditions by 10 AM.
An important PSA for all winter trail users:
When winter trails are groomed or there are well-established ski tracks, we appreciate it when snowshoers, walkers, and their leashed dogs (when possible) can refrain from walking in the ski tracks to preserve the quality of the skiing experience. Thank you for sharing the trails.
