You’re a Shoe-In

Don’t let a little snow stop you from hitting your favorite trails this winter. Grab a pair of snowshoes, bundle up and head out the door for a fun but surprisingly sweat-inducing aerobic workout. Snowshoeing can add a little adventure in your cross-training while clearing your head through the tranquility of the great outdoors. It’s an easy, almost no-brainer way to enjoy the winter season.

Stop by your local outdoor store to find the safest and best route for yourself. Check avalanche warnings and be aware of your surroundings as you head out—it’s easy to loose yourself in the sparkling snow, especially if it’s a new route. I like to stay on well-worn paths—looking for tell-tale signs of trail markers and other snowshoe tracks as the sure sign I’m headed in the right direction.

Find the right snowshoes for you here or stop by your local outdoor store for maps, guided tours and directions. Some recreational areas even allow dogs so load up the gang and head out.
