The Ribbons of Green Society is going white.
The group of outdoor enthusiasts have compiled a list of snowshoe trails in the North Okanagan so hikers can get out and enjoy all the region has to offer.
The list can be found on the society's website.
Popular local snowshoeing areas include:
- Silver Star Resort; purchase a pass to explore 16 km of snowshoe trails weaving through magical forests. Trails are rated according to difficulty and clearly marked.
- Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre; purchase snowshoe pass, rentals available
- Silver Star Provincial Park; no fee, no pass required for 19 km of well-marked and rated trails
- Predator Ridge also offers over 12 km snowshoe trails, rentals available.
“In addition to exploring great trails in the snow, this low-impact aerobic activity offers numerous health benefits: cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, balance, stability, coordination, and improved mental health. Snowshoeing burns more calories than walking at the same pace,” said Ingrid Neumann, Ribbons of Green Trail Society director.
“An activity for all ages and abilities, this low-cost outdoor winter sport is easy to learn. If you don’t own snowshoes, try renting a pair from a local sport store.”
