I thought the following press release might interest a few people who like being outside in the winter snow...
WHAT: The 13th annual Winter Trails® event offers children and adults new to snow sports the chance to try snowshoeing and/ or cross-country skiing free at more than 100 locations in 25 states and four Canadian provinces.
