Snowshoeing Open House
Discover the sport of snowshoeing this winter by walking the Winnetka Golf Course in a whole new way. Whether you love to stride along nature trails or take all-day hikes on mountainous terrain, L.L.Bean has the snowshoeing activity for you. 

If you’re new to snowshoeing or looking to refine your skills, the Saturday, Jan. 11 Open House from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Little Duke will introduce residents to L.L.Bean’s staff, equipment, and the Snowshoeing Outdoor Discovery Course now located in Winnetka. 

No experience is necessary and everything you need will be provided. Come with questions, get some answers, and try out snowshoeing for yourself.
