In this four-day class students will lace snowshoes that will last for generations.

The Ojibwe-style snowshoe kit provides Minnesota-made white ash frames, tubular nylon lacing, instruction booklet, and lamp wick bindings. These traditional snowshoes are more adaptable to differing snow conditions than modern aluminum snowshoes.

Taught by Peta Barrett, previously the owner of Women’s Wilderness Discovery based out of Ely, MN, students also learn how to put the finishing touches on their snowshoes at home. Peta will share resource information for purchasing outdoor spar urethane to finish and protect the snowshoes, tips for maintaining them, and styles of bindings you may wish to purchase in the future
