Intro to Cross-Country Skiing
-
The Palmer area has phenomenal access to cross-country skiing for all levels. This trip is ideal for visitors new to the sport. Your day starts with a review of different types of cross-country skiing. Your local guide provides an introductory lesson before touring local ski trails. 10% of trip proceeds are donated to our local ski club to support grooming and trail maintenance.

Moderate, the first portion of the trip is educational, but once we start skiing it is easy to work up a sweat.
Winter Snowshoe
-
During our winter season, the Chugach and Talkeetna mountain ranges become blanketed with snow - crisply visible from downtown on a clear day. This adventure takes advantage of the limited Alaska daylight, with exploration on and off-trail. Snowshoeing is the perfect introduction to Alaska winter recreation.
