There are three courses to choose from: 3km, 5km (flat, wooded) and a 10km (hilly) courses just for you! You can cross-country ski OR snowshoe, or do BOTH!
• 5km loop: A scenic flat route winding through orchards and pines. Two food/water stops along the way. 
• 10 km loop: We strongly reccommend that experienced women (well, you know what we mean by experienced I hope) ski the 10 km loop. As it is challenging and can take up to 1 1/2 hours to complete. It includes a long steep hill, and a long gradual downhill. There will be two water and food stations along this trail. This loop crosses two road locations, that will be snow covered for skiers to cross.
• NOTE: Snowshoers- PLEASE RESPECT the ski trails by not walking on the ski trail but by keeping to the side of the trail and allowing faster skiers to pass. Also keep in mind to stay off the "tracked" section of the ski trail set aside for the traditional skiers.
