The trendiest on-snow activity of the season, snowshoeing
is as simple as walking, and the equipment is light, maintenance free, and
durable. Something the whole family can enjoy, this low-impact, aerobic
sport is the cool way to take a walk. As reported by Walking Magazine
(January/February 1999): "New research at the University of Vermont's Human
Performance Laboratory shows that a moderate walk on snowshoes burns more
calories and boosts fitness more than running on a treadmill for the same length
of time."
