Hartwick Pines State Park - Feb. 21-22, Snowshoe Building Workshop

Saturday, Feb. 21 and Sunday, Feb. 22

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days (or until you finish lacing your snowshoes)



Instructors will teach participants, step by step, how to lace the modified bear paw-style, wooden-framed snowshoes (10 by 36 inches). Tubular nylon will be used for the lacing. The snowshoe kit comes with a set of "Super A" bindings. Participants will have to varnish their snowshoes with a spar urethane/marine varnish at a later time, preferably in a well-ventilated location.

There will be a lunch break at noon, and participants may either bring their own food or go into downtown Grayling to buy lunch.



Cost for the class is $195.
