Over the Hill Gang snowshoe guidelines, Winiter 2024-2025

 

The members of the Steamboat Springs Over the Hill Gang will be snowshoeing through some of the beautiful terrain that surrounds our town. Meet us weekly in the River Creek Park parking lot at 9:45 a.m. to plan our adventure and organize ride sharing. We will depart from River Creek Park at 10:00 a.m. sharp (Walton Creek Rd and HWY 40). We will base our plan on weather and snow conditions, which is why we remain flexible. When you have completed your Over the Hill Gang registration and signed the waiver your name will be added to the email list for snowshoeing. The suggested Saturday hike will be posted on the OTHG Website by 6:00 p.m. Friday evening. Most hikes are in the 3-5 mile range. We usually offer both a shorter route and the longer full loop or out and back option. Ride sharing will be arranged at River Creek Park. Our first outing is scheduled for December 7. 

 

 Be sure to bring your own equipment, including:

·    sunscreen

·    snowshoes

·    poles

·    layered clothing including wind protection-check the weather

·    water-electrolytes

·    snacks

·    boots and traction (spikes, Yak-Trax) if there is not enough snow to snowshoe; we’ll go for a hike instead.

We look forward to seeing you on the trail!
