Perhaps the simplest and easiest way to enjoy the winter landscape is walking on snowshoes. If you can walk, then you can snowshoe. It takes very little gear requiring a pair of snowshoes and some poles, which assist in balance. That is all you need and you are on your way to exploring endless miles of winter terrain blanketed in white.
Snowshoeing appeals to all ages and all levels of activity-seekers, because you can take a casual hike in the woods, or reach for the sky as you steadily climb uphill to a mountain peak. So, step into your snowshoes, put on a few layers of clothing – which can be shed or added as the weather dictates – add a daypack with energy-filled snacks and a water bottle, and go!
Families of all ages can engage in this winter activity, enjoying exercise, fresh air and each other. Snowshoeing is a great way to spend quality time outdoors. Special memories are easily made as each person takes turns leading the pack, creating the first human tracks after a recent snowfall. Take a day trip with the kids and stop mid-day for a relaxing, leisurely lunch. Your family will sleep like babies at the end of such a day of exercise and sunshine. If you are up for a little more of a physical challenge, try snowshoe running, racing and winter backcountry excursions.
