New this year to Northstar's snowshoe offerings are three nights with star guide and poet Tony Berendsen during Star Gazing Snowshoe Tours.  Every tour is as different as the starry skies above however each will include a poem reading, a fun space quiz, a laser tour of the stars and constellations and a telescopic viewing using top of the line Celestron telescopes.  All tours will begin at 5pm and will depart from the Cross-Country Ski, Telemark & Snowshoe Center. 

During the 2 to 2.5 hour tour Tony will lead you through some of our snowshoe trails including challenging, rolling terrain all while chatting about the wonders of the sky.  After, you’ll snowshoeing to the Cross-Country Ski, Telemark & Snowshoe Center for the laser tour, telescope viewing, wine and hot cider around one of our fire pits.  After you've had time to relax, the group will snowshoe down the last 1/2 mile to the Village at Northstar where the tour will end.  Dogs on leashes are welcome!  There will be snowshoes available for rent.

Please give yourself plenty of time to ride the Gondola and check in at the Cross-County Ski, Telemark & Snowshoe Center located at Mid-Mountain.  Snowshoes will be available for rental at the Cross-Country Center.

Participants should make sure to wear warm and waterproof shoes and clothing.  We recommend snowboots to keep your feet warm and multiple layers of clothing so you can adjust for your temperature during the hike.
