Snowshoeing is an affordable winter sport for the whole family. If you can walk, you can snowshoe. There is not a simpler way to enjoy the great outdoors in the snow. Just put on your winter layers and boots, strap on a pair of snowshoes, and head to a park or hiking trail. Modern snowshoes have come a long way since the old wood frames and rawhide lacing. They now consist of a lightweight, aluminum frame with durable synthetic decking. A simple binding system holds your feet in place, and most have a crampon system at toe and heel for traction. Snowshoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, to offer optimum flotation and best maneuverability to fit the individual. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced snowshoer, it is important to match your equipment to your fitness level and the type of excursion you hope to enjoy. Doing this will ensure a rewarding and safe experience in the outdoors.
