Winter training



A friend of mine asked me to share this info in case anyone here might be interested: 2026 Weekly Snowshoeing Program Information
Program Basics: Geared towards beginner and intermediate snowshoers who would like to get out more often or explore new trails but don’t want to go alone, this program consists of six evenings of guided snowshoeing, each with a rest period dedicated to light social interaction.
Outings will include a campfire where possible and an end-of-season potluck social at Brown’s Cabin in Gatineau Park.
Where: Six different routes of approximately 4.0 to 7.0 kilometers within the very beautiful Collines-de-l’Outaouais region of Québec, mostly within Gatineau Park. If that distance seems like a lot, consider that an average snowshoeing pace is 3.0 to 4.5 km/hr and that most of these outings will take place on trails that have already been packed-down by other trail users.
When: 6:30pm on Thursday evenings,…

Several ONEC members and coaches, who also work as ski instructors at Vorlage, will be offering lessons and ongoing instruction starting at 5 PM and continuing until the lifts close, based on demand. The lodge will have a restaurant and bar open for après-ski and breaks.

Thanks Deb. I really enjoy snowshoeing and would like to get out more with folks. Not sure I can commit to the program dates and if anyone just wants to get out together sometime, let me know and we’ll go.
