Winter Sports (Rochester)

Posted by Reza Roshandel Moghaddam @bryanhart, Nov 13, 2021

I am new to Rochester and I was thinking of a group for winter sports. Is there such a group at Mayo? BTW, is anyone aware of places -of course affordable ones!- to learn and practice winter sports like skiing, snowboarding?
Thank you!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the New Employee Connections group.

Hi! this sounds fun, I would also love to join 🙂 We can probably start by creating group chat and brain storm and do some research if we're really interested? 🙂

I heard quarry hills offers snowshoeing and theres an hr drive for skiing/snowboarding from Rochester 🙂

And.... since maybe many of us have had no experience earlier, there's a need to learn about clothing and equipment @derrikhuisman

My guess is that Facebook or some other social media group chat or something along those lines would be the best way to start a group.
As for clothing and equipment- if people have never skied/snowboarded before, I would suggest renting the first time or two to make sure its something you like and want to stick with before buying. Clothing, in my opinion, is get a jacket not too heavy but big enough that layers can be put on underneath. You'd be shocked at how hot and sweaty you get once you start getting the hang of it! Gloves or mittens are the important part, having waterproof ones makes a world of difference.

Group me makes it very easy to add people and is easy for those who don't have social media. It's an easy download from the play store or Apple.
