Themed Snowshoe Program
January 22, 2026 @ 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM
What
Take a tour with a boost and hit the trails with Ray Vizgirdas, retired Wildlife Biologist and all-around Naturalist. With over three decades of experience working for state and federal agencies, Ray knows a thing or two about the outdoors. Each week, Ray will cover a new topic based on what the mountain conditions are best suited for. Program outings will cover no more than 1.5 miles (usually less than 1 mile) out on the snowshoe trails.
Reservations Recommended. Reservation requests less than 48 hours in advance may not receive a response in time. To reserve your spot, please email josie@bogusbasin.org. Maximum of 12 people per program.
Themed Snowshoe Programs begin at 1:30 pm on Saturdays, 10:30 am on Sundays, and 2:30 pm on Wednesdays, and are approximately 2 hours long. Meet your guide at the Frontier Point Nordic Lodge.
