FAQs
I don’t have warm, waterproof winter boots for snowshoeing. Does Enchanted Forest provide winter boots for this activity?
Yes! You can use your own boots if you wish or we provide winter boots and poles at no additional charge.
While I am snowshoeing, what should I do with my shoes, boots, or other belongings?
We have lockers and shelves to store your shoes or boots while you are out skiing but you may choose to leave your footwear in a locker or in your vehicle. We ask that any additional belongings like jackets, clothing and backpacks be safely stored in a locker or vehicle and not all over the Warming Hut.
When does equipment need to be returned?
All rented equipment is due back by 4:30 pm. If you are running late, please call so we know you are safe.
How do I dress for snowshoeing?
Wear layers! moisture-wicking long underwear, waterproof pants and jacket (insulated are good for cold days, but wind-proof un-insulated are ideal for warm days), gloves, hat (or headband). Always wear sunscreen and UV sunglasses!
