This was posted by Crunchy in the Hiking/Camping board. But Im not sure how many people actually check that board during ski season...

I thought more people would read this in the general forum.

Might be something of interest to a few of you on here.

Jan 27 Gateway To The Refuge: Canaan Valley-An Eastern Climate Anomaly 10 am Join us on a series of free snowshoe tours that highlight the ecological diversity of our nation's 500th refuge. Canaan Valley can have frost every month of the year and averages 44 degrees mean annual temperature along with a 75" rain/snow year in 2003. Led by Chip Chase and a guest naturalist.

Im pretty sure Crunchy said they were leaving from White grass lodge.

Enjoy
