Who says hiking fun has to stop when there is snow on the ground? Thanks to the Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP), it doesn’t have to. OAP offers gear rental year-round including snowshoes, which means when you and your friends want to hike on the weekend but there’s two feet of fresh powder you still can. 

Snowshoes work by giving your feet a larger surface area which enables you to float on top of the snow instead of sinking into the fresh snow. Another great resource when planning your snowy hike is the All Trails app. This app allows you to search for trails, download offline maps, and read comments about other hikers recent trips.

Head into the OAP office Monday—Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. or Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. or 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to check out snowshoes or any other gear you may need. Remember to practice safe hiking techniques whenever you hike!

Wednesday evening, the Outdoor Adventure Program (OAP) hosted a Halloween climbing competition in the fitness center. Participants had the option of climbing as many of the 21 routes they wanted. The routes are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced with points awarded for the accuracy of the climb. Winners were selected from each of the three categories. However, that’s not all the fun, it was also a costume contest, with the best costume winning a prize as well.

Sophomore Doris Huguley, who started climbing about a year ago with the Regis climbing club, said her favorite part of OAP climbing competitions, “Is the environment and community that comes together for a friendly little climb, people who don’t climb and people who do just spending quality time together is A-one.”
