Snowshoeing - Day Trip to the Catskills
ALL levels of experience welcome
Limited capacity
Come out for a day to experience a Winter Wonderland in the Catskills Mountains/ Upstate New York.
All levels of experience welcome - Snowshoeing is easy to learn:
We will divide the group depending on fitness and skill level; adjusting the speed and distance to match the ability of the group. We are looking to offer a 6 to 9+ mile loop.
Location: NY State, 4 - 5 hours of continuous snowshoeing with a few rest breaks, some hills, great views.
Winter clothing and waterproof hiking shoes / boots strongly recommended, good physical condition recommended.
Snowshoeing expands the potential for exercise available in the wintertime with the added benefit of being gentler on the feet than walking or running the equivalent routes. Most types of footwear can be worn with snowshoes, although hiking boots are the preferred choice.
There is no better way to begin snowshoeing than just going and doing it. Take a "risk", rent or buy a pair of snowshoes, dress for the elements and enjoy.
Considering this is the fastest growing winter sport in the world (snowboarding is growing fast too, but not fast enough), snowshoeing is poised to become a monster of a market. Snowshoeing is a great alternative for many sports - especially those who like running.
What's So Great About Snowshoeing?
The sport is easy to learn and is a great way to exert energy during the cold winter months. One of the more appealing facts about snowshoeing is how it can help enrich a person's health. Known to help maintain or improve cardiovascular fitness, the sport helps burn more than 600 calories per hour. Snowshoers can burn more than 45 percent more calories than walking or running at the same speed, according to SIA.

What to Wear When Snowshoeing?
Footwear:
It is wise to choose your footwear according to your snowshoeing style. Leather hiking boots that have been waterproofed are great for hiking and backcountry trekking. Trail-running shoes (like those provided by Nike ACG) are perfect for running and aerobic snowshoeing (look for GORE-TEX material). Snowboarding boots are also ideal for snowshoeing. Waterproofing is the key!
Wool socks for hiking and/or a wool/silk combination for running are important to snowshoeing. Never wear cotton socks when in the snowy elements.
And, if you plan to snowshoe in deep snow and don't plan to stay on snow-packed trails, wear Gaiters to keep snow out of your boots and shoes. GORE-TEX Gaiters are great selection for backcountry hikers.
Clothing:
Don't be afraid to dress in layers. And, use layers that can be taken off with ease, considering in some cases it can get hot during the spring season. Consider wearing synthetics and wool to induce heat retention when wet. Long underwear is essential when snowshoeing and a zippered top lets you regulate body heat.
Polyester fleece provides a great insulation, as it too retains heat when wet. And, a waterproof jacket (preferably something with GORE-TEX) will keep you dry and protect you from cold winds.
The more obvious choices in winter wear are gloves, a hat, sunglasses (or goggles) and other personal selections.
The Ralf-Elie Trail:
The trail starts at around 2300ft. and drops to 2100 in about .75 miles, it levels off, and then rises to from 2096 to 2487 ft in a distance of .6 miles.
Continuing steadily dropping in elevation after that point, and around the 5.8 mile mark, we reach our low of 1846 feet; thereafter, steady climbing
back up to 2300 feet in the next 1.3 miles.
Feedback/ Testimonials:
Thank you! I had lots of fun and this was a great experience for me. This was my first time hiking in the winter and it was just magical especially with all that snow. Thanxs again!
Jenn~
Want to thank you guys for arranging the trip, it is really some experience you will always remember, at least for me. Please thank the group leaders for me, they are knowledgeable, fun and caring. They make the trip much more inspiring.
Thank you again - All the best for your business venture as well,
Yuhua
The snowshoeing trip this past Saturday was great. Well organized and guides were terrific. Elie and Cristine were great and so were Mark and Irina. It's sometimes good to have more guides since groups of faster and slower walkers can separate and not wait on each other or rush to catch up. I will definitely book more trips with you after April once i get more free time. Great job. Looking into adventure trip to Costa Rica this year.
