Have you ever worn snowshoes?

Yes I have. It's a pretty hard workout walking around in them!

Andrew said...

No, I am from Rhode Island. We deal with winter the way you're supposed to ... walking barefoot through 2' of snow for 10 miles to school uphill, both ways

Kelly said...

I haven't and I also wasn't sure people actually do wear them, so I'd like to try.

Beth, how much snow is required for them to be useful?

Dan said...

No, but I want to. I think they would make me feel tall.

Beth said...

Kelly, I'm not sure. I've only used them a couple of times. I would guess about a foot?

pinchie said...

Yes, in Colorado. Snowshoeing for recreation is super fun and not that hard to get used to.

Not enough snow in Pennsy to have ever needed them. Wah wah.

I just used them in Maine - such a great workout - esp if you have to break the trail.

One time when I was little I strapped tennis rackets to my feet and pretended they were snow shoes....but I was indoors... and I think it was like june....

Yes, I used them in Nevada last winter. It was super hard to break the trail. I think there were several feet of snow.
