Trails - Snowshoeing

There’s 3 feet of snow on the trailhead, with big drifts and flurries. No problem.

Snowshoeing is as much high-calibre recreation as a fantastic cardiac work out, and offers the liberty to go anywhere, the snow is normally too deep to walk. Give it a try, and before long, you will get the hang of it, as the learning curve is extremely short. While the older wooden snowshoes work fine and are preferred by many, the new aluminum shoes are lighter and smaller, yet are marvellously efficient and comfortable, and provide remarkable traction and ‘buoyancy’ on the snow. For a small investment in shoes, and perhaps some Nordic poles or ski poles, enjoy a whole winter of fun and exploration.  No other activity on the winter trails or in a forest, provides you with more freedom to go deep, go far, or go anywhere.
