Snowshoeing is becoming an increasingly popular sport for families. When the kids are super little (and mom and dad are in good shape) tucking the kids into kid-carrying backpacks and heading out for a snowshoe is a great outing. I&#8217;m sure some families get their littles to snowshoe, but I&#8217;m not that brave. If your kids are older and you&#8217;re looking for a fun day on the mountain that doesn&#8217;t cost a fortune, snowshoeing is worth a try!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/mtseymour.ca\/winter\/snowshoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seymour Mountain<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Discovery Snowshoe Trails (variety)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a variety of different trails at the beginner (green circle), intermediate (blue square), and difficult (black diamond) levels<\/li>\n<li>view a map of the trails <a href=\"https:\/\/mtseymour.ca\/snowshoe-trail-status-map\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/li>\n<li>trails range from 2.3 &#8211; 4.5km in length, time to complete ranges from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dog Mountain (moderate)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5km return, 150 metres elevation change<\/li>\n<li>2-3 hours, return<\/li>\n<li>trail is out and back, excellent views if weather is clear, very popular trail so expect crowds on weekends and holidays, dogs are permitted on leash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mount Seymour 1st Peak or Pump Peak (difficult)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8km return, 450 metres elevation gain<\/li>\n<li>3.5+ hours to complete<\/li>\n<li>trail is out and back, excellent views if weather is clear, expect crowds on weekends and holidays, dogs are permitted on leash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grousemountain.com\/snowshoe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grouse Mountain<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Blue Grouse Loop (easy)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1.5km return, 20 metre elevation gain<\/li>\n<li>30-45 minutes, return<\/li>\n<li>dogs are not allowed on this trail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Snowshoe Grind (moderate)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4.3km return, 240 metre elevation gain<\/li>\n<li>approximately 1 hour, return<\/li>\n<li>for those who like the physical challenge of completing the Grouse Grind, this is your snow-filled version.

The flatness of the loop makes it appealing to families however we&#8217;ve marked the trail as &#8220;moderate&#8221; due to the length of time it takes to complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Before You Go Snowshoeing:<\/h3>\n<p>Safety is the #1 factor to consider when planning a snowshoeing excursion for your family. Even if you are heading out on trails associated with a resort (e.g. Cypress, Grouse, or Seymour) it is a good idea to plan for the worst-case scenario.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Light &#8211; daylight disappears quickly and you don&#8217;t want to be caught in the dark. Pack a headlamp &#8211; they take up minimal space and tend to have great battery life<\/li>\n<li>Heat source &#8211; pack waterproof matches (or a lighter) in case you need to start a fire to keep warm.<\/li>\n<li>Food &#8211; always ensure you have extra food and water for everyone in your group.<\/li>\n<li>Clothing &#8211; pack layers. Snowshoeing in the mountains means being ready for changing conditions. It may feel balmy in downtown Vancouver but as you get to higher elevations, and the day turns to night, the temperatures can drop drastically.<\/li>\n<li>Way-finding &#8211; be prepared with a map and a compass. Cell phones die&#8211;the cold temperatures cause the batteries to exhaust faster than usual. Knowing how to read a compass can be life-saving.<\/li>\n<li>First aid &#8211; pack a small first aid kit in case of injury.<\/li>\n<li>For a complete and detailed list of essential items to bring with you on your snowshoeing outing, we strongly recommend you visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northshorerescue.com\/education\/what-to-bring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Shore Rescue&#8217;s informative website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Be prepared and have fun out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk about a great form of exercise!
