We ask that no pets be brought to the event. In the case of inclement weather or poor snow conditions the Full moon Snowshoe may be postponed or cancelled and will be announced via the ACCB’s Facebook page.

appropriate sized snowshoes and trekking poles will be provided to individuals who do not have their own equipment with preregistration. Participants should dress for the weather with appropriate layers including outerwear, winter hats, gloves, and waterproof boots.
