Do I bring my own snowshoes?
Yes. If you have your own snowshoes, or you can borrow from a friend, please bring them! Tubbs will be on hand with FREE demo snowshoes to be lent out to Romp participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you have your own or have access to a pair, please bring them so that we can make sure to have enough demo snowshoes for those who don't have access to a pair.
What is it like to snowshoe on a Romp course?
The Romp course is on predominantly flat or rolling terrain. We set the course with pink flags, post volunteers at key turn points, and sometimes have signs so you can stay on the Romp course path.
What shoes should I wear to snowshoe in for the Romp?
Hiking boots with some sort of water-proofing work great for snowshoeing. You can also use water-proof trail runners. Winter boots work as well, but can be uncomfortable to walk long distances in--so use your best judgment! Columbia has some great footwear options available for snowshoeing. Be sure to wear synthetic or wool socks in case your feet get wet. Not only do they help wick moisture away from your skin, but they will keep your feet warmer than cotton socks.
