In the depths of winter, cabin fever can set in quick and hit you hard. Don’t be a victim of this during the winter months! Snowshoeing is the perfect cure for even the most severe cases of this claustrophobic phenomena. Snowshoeing is a remarkable sport that has come far since it was invented in the 18th century by Native Americans. With wood and leather snowshoes now used for decorative purposes, today’s snowshoes are made of extremely lightweight and durable materials. Comfortable binding that are easy to get on and take off make snowshoeing a sport that everyone from grandma to junior can enjoy. If you can walk, you can hit the trails when the snow flies! Companies like Tubbs, Atlas, MSR and Red Feather have been building quality snowshoes for the entire family for many years. Children snowshoes are simple, light weight, and inexpensive. While providing adequate traction for anything junior may attempt he will learn to love winter adventures with the family. Adult snowshoes range from simple models built for affordable mild adventures on packed trails, to high end models with advanced bindings, light weight and durable materials, and superior cleat systems. Add a pair of poles for better stability and traction, gaiters to help keep your lower legs dry, and pack filled with all your trail ready gear, and have a winter adventure. Whether you are out for a leisurely stroll in the woods, on a packed trail at the local Nordic center, or breaking trail up the side of a mountain, snowshoeing is a sport that anyone can do and enjoy.
