The mountains around Vancouver offer some of the best snowshoe trails during the winter months. The snowshoe routes are generally best done during the months of December – April, depending on how much snow has fallen and how quickly the melt off occurs during the spring.<\/p>\n

A few words about safety before you head out on your snowshoe adventures:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always tell someone where you are going and leave a detailed trip plan that includes when you will be back.<\/li>\n
  2. Never snowshoe or hike alone.<\/li>\n
  3. Take the 10-essentials.<\/li>\n
  4. Stay on marked routes and do not venture off the snowshoe trail routes.<\/li>\n
  5. Check the local weather conditions before you leave.<\/li>\n
  6. Check the avalanche conditions<\/a> and make sure to take proper safety equipment. It’s highly recommended you take a course that provides training so you can be prepared to recognize the dangers of avalanches, cornices, and other hazards during winter conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
