My husband recently sold his Rosignol skis which he used exactly two times and therefore we came into a small amount of cash. Since he already had a pair of snowshoes that he never got to use, he suggested I get a pair of snowshoes and we could go hiking in the winter with the dogs. I wasn't so sure about this idea as I already have a hard enough time not tripping over my own feet. And just as I was contemplating the purchase we got the little nudge we needed: 20% off on all snowshoes at EMS. It was like a sign attracting me. So we went there the other day, just to browse...and talk to the sales lady who pointed out the differences in all the different types of snowshoes. I walked out with a brand new pair of kick ass snowshoes which I had no idea if I was going to enjoy using or not. The ones I got were curved a certain way as to make it really easy to walk in and so that it's impossible to trip over your feet while walking normally. Score for me. I need all the help I can get.
We had just gotten a foot of white powdery stuff the other day and we decided to go out for a hike in the woods with the dogs and test them out. Ideally the snow wasn't the right kind for snowshoeing because you want to walk on top of the snow and this was powder so you sunk in. However, the snowshoes made it a lot easier to walk because the claws on the bottom created good traction. I had a great time! Snowshoeing is super fun and we got some great pics of the winter tundra.
