Boyne Outfitters has teamed up with Michigan’s own Iverson Snowshoe & Furniture Company to offer individuals a chance to lace their own pair of traditional wooden snowshoes.

When:
Friday, January 25, 5-8pm
Saturday, January 26, 9am-1pm
Cost is $200 per student. Reservation required. This class is limited to 10 students. Two-day participation is required.
