Get your best trail buddy and join us for an outdoor adventure! The Snowshoe Shuffle has thawed out and is moving to Saturday, July 11th at its original location, the Madison Base Area at Big Sky Resort! Tails & Trails is a great way to get outdoors with your friends, family and canine companions, have fun, and benefit the dogs and cats at HOV. Tickets on sale now – First 75 tickets receive a free Goodie Bag!

Event Details:

  • Guests and their well-behaved pups will arrive at 10:30, park in the Madison Base Area parking lot and visit the registration table before starting your adventure.
  • Start your adventure! This 3.2-mile loop with 704 feet of elevation gain takes about 1-1.5 hours to complete and is just challenging enough to be fun for all abilities. Enjoy beautiful vistas of Lone Mountain and water access on the trail for your best friend.
  • When you return from your hike, you’ll receive a box lunch with a meal of your choosing and a goodie bag packed with fun items for you and your pup (goodie bag available for the first 75 guests registered).
  • Don’t forget to buy raffle tickets! The raffle drawing will take place Saturday, July 11th 12:30pm at the event, and our silent auction will be ongoing until Sunday July 12th at noon to accommodate for limited cell service at the event. Items will be available for viewing soon and raffle tickets can be purchased before the event. You do not need to be present to win!
