A Wednesday Winter Walk in the Woods on Wheeler Mountain – wwwww@Jan.20

• depending on conditions, a 4.0 hrs+ snowshoe on Wheeler Mountain is planned, starting from Lac du Bois
• this is not a novice route; experience and fitness requirements apply; the route will take fitness, strength, and endurance
• we will be breaking trail for the middle third of the route
• we will snowshoe together and follow the same route (parallel tracks okay); “doing your own thing” increases my stress level and also fragments the group so please don’t join us for this event if this is your style
• bring enough gear and a headlamp, just in case
• article – Wheeler Winter
• a Peaks Series event Δ
