Snowshoeing is an ancient activity much overshadowed these days by snowboarding and skiing. But snowshoeing offers prizes the other sports never can. If you're tempted to give it a try, here's a couple of tips to make your introduction more enjoyable. Pick snowshoes that are lightweight. This is probably the most important factor in selecting snowshoes. They can range from super light, not more than a pound apiece, to weighing several pounds for each shoe. Always pick the lightest snowshoe that seems to fit comfortably. Also, take the time to check that you're getting snowshoes that are rated for your weight. There is nothing worse than trekking out into the fresh, white powder and sinking up to your thigh, because you didn't get snowshoes that fit you properly. Weight ratings range from as little as 30 pounds, up to over 300 pounds. With all that variation, you are sure to find the right size and fit for you. Then safely go where no skier has gone before ... and enjoy the magnificence of the untrampled snowfields of your dreams.
