How many times this winter have you thought you ought to pull your snowshoes out of their winter hiding place? Well, now is the time!

This Saturday, February 9th is the Second Annual Snowman Stomp Snowshoe Romp. For fast snowshoers, slow snowshoers, kids and families – this is one of the many activities over the Winterfest weekend in Pagosa Springs.

Now, dust off your snowshoes, grab a hat and meet your new friends at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club for cheers of encouragement. The kids race begins at 11:00 am and is followed by the adult race (families welcome) at 11:15 am.

For the fearless, we are partnering with the Pagosa Springs Nordic Club for a combined event. Nordic racers can participate in the 5K race at 10:00 am and then the snowshoe race at 11:15 am.

Register before or day of (day of registration begins at 10:00 am). Cost is $5 per person. Pre-register here or at the Chamber of Commerce by February 5 to be guaranteed a goodie bag. Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd race finishers.

If you don’t have snowshoes don’t worry. Summit Ski & Sports (970.264.2457) are offering a day of $10 shoe rental.
