About snowshoeing
In the past, snowshoes were essential tools for fur traders, hunters and other people whose life or living depended on the ability to get around in areas of deep and frequent snowfall. Old style, wooden snowshoes had a shape as tennis rackets and it is possible to see them in many restaurants, mountain hotels and ski rentals today as a wall decoration. Modern snowshoes are made of lightweight metal, plastic and synthetic fabric.
Snowshoes work by distributing the weight of the person over a larger area so that the person''s foot does not sink completely into the snow. It is recommended to have hiking poles for better balance while walking and for strengthening upper body muscles. Snowshoeing is a form of hiking and in appropriate conditions is a relatively safe and inexpensive recreational activity. There are no special skills required for this activity and it is really easy to learn. The only preconditions are good health condition and adequate winter cloth for being out in the nature. As a great winter workout and bit more demanding than walking, while snowshoeing you can burn more than 400 calories for an hour.
Snowshoeing is getting more and more popular within people who like going outdoors, by hikers and runners who like to continue their hobby in wintertime. As a blend of recreation and nature, it is also attractive for tourist who would like to escape from the crowds of the ski resorts.
