Snowshoeing is one of the best ways to get out and active during the winter, especially for those who don’t ski or snowboard regularly. For co-host Vickie Connor, the activity seemed like the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in the winter, especially as someone who is wary of knee injuries, after an ACL tear years ago.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Vickie chats with co-host Jamie Hale about her first snowshoeing experience on Mt. Baker, as well as the rest of her roadtrip there.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• Vickie talks about snowshoe rentals and logistics.
• Bellingham is a great roadtrip stopping point if you’re driving from Portland or Seattle.
• Upper Lodge to Artist Point trail near Mt. Baker Ski Area is a great introductory, yet heart-pumping trail for first-timers.
• Where to eat and stay around Mt. Baker.
