View REI Snowshoeing Class - San Jacinto in a larger map
Our first REI Outdoor class, and it was AMAZING. We took the "Intro to Snowshoeing" class and the instructors were really knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I spent a lot of time talking with Michael, one of the two instructors, and he said I was running around "like a kid in a candy store" in the snow. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. I loved every second of the experience and I can't wait to get out there again!

The most layers I've ever hiked with, and I was still cold
The wind was horrible; gusts up to 70mph blasted us occasionally. Thankfully we ended up in some sheltered areas and it was much more pleasant.
I had no idea snowshoes looked like this
