SNOWSHOEING IN GASPORT

Paths, Peaks, and Paddles, a Tonawanda-based outfitting company will be holding 2 events in Gasport this February. Here's a copy of their blog postings....


Come out and join Paths, Peaks & Paddles on Saturday 2/4/12 at Royalton-Hartland Elementary School (4500 Orchard Place, Gasport, NY) for our annual snowshoe event. This exciting event will be held from 11:00am to 4:00pm. You can’t miss us! We will be outside with our snowshoes and poles waiting very patiently to take you, your friends and family on a snowshoe demo.

Instructors and Guides will be present to assist you with putting on your snowshoes, the use of poles and walking on the snow. Your instructors and guides will take you on a short tour around the school property so you can experience how to walk with snowshoes.

All are welcome to join us for this exciting event. Please dress for the weather as your snowshoe demo will keep you outdoors between 15-30 minutes. If you have any questions regarding snowshoeing, clothing or footwear feel free to contact christine@pathspeakspaddles.com. See you on the 4th!

FREE Full Moon Snowshoe Hike at Royalton Ravine in Gasport
February 7, 2012


Come out and join Paths Peaks & Paddles for a “Full Moon” snowshoe hike out at Royalton Ravine. If there is no snow we will hike in the Ravine. Meet in the parking lot out in Royalton at 6:00 PM SHARP! We want to head into the ravine by 6:15 at the latest with an expected ETA back to the parking lot between 9:00 PM & 9:30 PM.

There is no cost if you have your own snowshoes & poles. (Poles are a must to aid in ascending & descending aka stability) If you do not have snowshoes contact us for rentals. Snowshoe rental with poles is $10.00 pp.

If you have never snowshoed this is the time to come out and try it. This is a great evening adventure into the Ravine hiking the trails, up and down the hills and a short break in the pines.

Instructors and NYS Licensed Guides will accompany you on this hike. For further information or directions call 716-213-0350.
