Event Details

Sponsored by Merrell Canada

This event is for BIPOC living in Vancouver, BC, Canada area. While we love our allies, this event is created to give a chance to BIPOC members to try new sports.

BIPOC community, if you’ve signed up for one of our January snowshoeing events, please give others first access to this event so that everyone has an opportunity to snowshoe. Thank you!

This beginner-friendly tour at Mount Seymour introduces the basics of snowshoeing, shares some of the mountain’s best snowshoeing spots and provides basic knowledge needed to stay safe in a winter environment.

Suitable for all ability levels, beginner-friendly.
