Winter Hobbies for Total Beginners

An Open House for Curious Beginners
Ever thought winter activities looked fun, but weren’t sure where to start? Or assumed you needed expensive gear, experience, or a group to go with? This night is for you.
Join us at Gearhouse Coffee Shop for a welcoming, low-pressure Winter Open House designed especially for people who are curious about getting outside this winter, even if you’ve never done it before. We’re opening up our usually members-only Third Thursday to everyone, so you can come see how you can get involved in:
- Cross-Country Skiing
- Backcountry Skiing
- Downhill Skiing
- Snowshoeing
- Winter Camping
- Mountain Transportation and Gear!!
This is your chance to ask all your questions, get real advice from friendly, experienced folks, and learn how winter activities can actually be approachable, social, and fun.

We make it easy!
Gearhouse helps remove the usual barriers to getting outside:

• Access to gear (no need to buy everything upfront)
• Transportation provided for many trips and classes
• Beginner-friendly instruction and supportive guidance
• Built-in community so you’re never going alone

Whether you’re here to explore winter sports, meet potential adventure buddies, or simply learn what Gearhouse offers, this night is all about helping you feel confident enough to get out there.
