This course will teach you one of the most basic and essential outdoor skills- navigation without relying on a battery in the winter. The birth of the smart phone and personal global positioning systems (GPS) have not outdated the centuries old skill of navigation by map and compass. The earth’s magnetic field will never run out of battery.
Fly through a winter wonderland on skis at a snowy excursion hosted by TINS and the TRTA. Spend the morning on cross-country skis gliding through forests around Spooner Lake on Tahoe’s East Shore. We will take breaks periodically to learn about forest ecology while talking about the plants and animals that make up Tahoe’s wintery ecosystem.
Give yourself some space and #OptOutside on Black Friday. Because we need to. And because that’s where we feel good, and awesome, and human. Join us and our friends at REI and do so responsibly.
You know how you’re a cool TRTA member and we’re an awesome organization? It’s like we combined the cool and the awesome, threw in a dash of Valentine’s Day and made a hike out of it! Come explore and let us spoil you on this picturesque short trek full of wine, cheese, crackers and deserts. BECAUSE WE MAKE A GREAT TEAM!
