to experience, where to find a good lunch, interesting viewpoints and more. You can take a traditional lesson or our Special Introductory

What Kind of clothes
should I wear?
Do not over dress. Alpine ski gear or snowmobile
suits are usually way-too warm. You will be comfortable in
cold weather jogging gear. Layering works well.
Polypro long underwear has proven to be very
effective as a starting layer. Thin gloves will
usually prove more than adequate. Obviously, the
colder the air temps, the more layers you'll want.
