Big Sky Montana Snowshoeing, Snowshoe Trips

Snowshoeing is a great way to spend quality time outdoors. Walking on snowshoes is perhaps the simplest and easiest way to enjoy the winter landscape.

If you can walk, then you can snowshoe. Very little gear is required; you need a pair of snowshoes and some poles to assist in balance. That is all you need and you are on your way to exploring the endless miles of winter terrain blanketed in white.

Big Sky, Montana provides a winter wonderland of beauty and recreation for the winter outdoor enthusiast. Not only does Big Sky appeal to skiers and snowboards, but also to those seeking an adventure that is accessible by snowshoeing into the national forest and neighboring Yellowstone National Park. This resort community, backed by endless forest service land, is a perfect staging point for a backcountry snowshoe excursion.

Snowshoeing appeals to all ages and all levels of activity-seekers. You can take a casual hike in the woods, or reach for the sky as you steadily climb uphill to a mountain peak. If you are up to a little more of a physical challenge, try snowshoe running, racing and winter backcountry excursions.

Special memories are easily made when snowshoeing into the beautiful winter landscape, as you create the first human tracks after a recent snowfall. Take a day trip with the entire family and stop mid-day for a relaxing, leisurely lunch. Your kids will love it and sleep like babies after spending a day filled with exercise and sunshine. So step into your snowshoes, put on a few layers of clothing and head for the snow covered Big Sky Country terrain.
