Event Date
REGISTRATIONS FOR BOTH DATES ARE NOW CLOSED.
The UC Davis Active Aggies Alumni Network and Outdoor Adventures invite UC Davis alumni, family, and friends for an exciting day of snowshoeing in the beautiful Sierras and South Lake Tahoe. There are two available dates for you to choose from, January 25th or February 1st. We are excited to be partnering again with our friends in Campus Recreation for this exclusive experience.
Whether you’re brand-new to snow travel or already love winter adventures, this trip is a great way to experience a quieter side of the mountains, move your body, and spend quality time with fellow Aggies in a beautiful winter landscape.
This trip is rated easy–moderate. No prior experience is required, but participants should be prepared for travelling several miles on snow at higher elevation and standing outside in cold conditions.

Time: 7:00 a.m. to about 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. (dependent on road and weather conditions)
