Snowshoes
We have Snowshoes of all sizes so that you and your whole family can get out in the woods and hike around. Our MSR snowshoes are ideal for medium ground cover. We also have trekking poles available as an add-on if you’d like a little extra sturdiness on your hike.
This season all snow gear rentals are first come first served. We have a ton of snowshoes so the chances that we have the right ones for you and your group are good. If you have questions or would like to try and plan ahead please call the shop during open hours (Tuesday - Saturday 10-6).
Rental pricing:
24 hour rental - $12 for youth pair, $15 for adult pair
Trekking poles are available for $2 extra.
Weekend and week-long rental packages are also available.
How to rent from us:
When you rent from us you will pick up your snowshoes from Farmstead Bike Shop at 422 Division St. in downtown Northfield. You can pick up any time during shop hours (Tuesday - Saturday 10-6). We will help find the right size snowshoes for your body type. You can also rent snowshoes for other folks. Not everyone in your party needs to be present at pick-up. However, everyone needs to sign rental waivers before the snowshoes leave the building. Our waiver is electronic and easy to sign from anywhere. We’ll walk you through the process when you get here.
You can take your rentals anywhere! Our staff is knowledgeable about the area trails and can point you in the right direction. Or you can take them to your cabin or up north for the weekend!
If you return your gear late, late fees may apply. If you return your gear damaged, damage fees will apply.
