Donner Lakeview Snowshoe Tour

IMPORTANT DETAILS: 

– Each guide can take 8 snowshoers, for groups larger than 8, you will be assigned an additional guide.
– Snowshoes, poles, and guide service are included.
– We do NOT rent out snow boots, so it is important you bring your own pair of snow-appropriate shoes to the office the day of your tour. If you aren’t sure if your shoes work, give the office a call! We’d be happy to help with any and all gear-related questions.
– Your guide will have a hot beverage & snacks, but make sure to bring lunch & extra snacks.
– Your guide will send a pin to the exact meeting location prior to your tour.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Start with a small backpack so you can carry all the necessities plus extra layers, snacks, and a 1-Liter water bottle.

We recommend wearing layers so you can easily add or subtract clothing to manage your temperature whether you’re hiking uphill or taking a break. We recommend a non-cotton base layer, a breathable insulating mid-layer, and a waterproof shell jacket. For pants, plan to wear waterproof snow pants and consider adding a non-cotton base layer, depending on the temps. Wear warm waterproof winter boots; the snowshoes are adjustable and will fit with any standard boot. Eye protection is a must, but depending on the weather, you can choose to wear sunglasses or goggles. (Sunglasses are better for not fogging, but goggles can be better if it’s snowing). A good winter hat or ball-cap, and a neck buff complete the look.

THE ALPENGLOW DIFFERENCE

With countless expeditions to high-altitude peaks around the world over the last 15 years, we bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to our beloved “home mountain”. Our teaching and guiding philosophy has been honed from the flanks of the Himalayan giants to the technical peaks of Peru, and we are beyond excited to be able to bring our program to this fantastic mountain. In addition to our international expedition roots, we are accredited by the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA), being one of the very few guide services in the region to hold such a high standard. Each of our guides is trained by the AMGA in the terrain in which they operate, and the program is supervised by internationally licensed IFMGA mountain guides. This high standard, along with our many years of experience, translates to a fantastic mountain adventure!

Alpenglow Expeditions operates under special use permit with the Tahoe, Eldorado, Inyo, Humboldt-Toiyable and Shasta-Trinity National Forests. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
