Min duration 1 h

Environment Outdoor

Strapping wide snowshoes onto your boots and trekking across deep snow that would otherwise be impossible to cross on foot — a steady-paced winter hike through quiet, snow-covered trails that's gentle enough for kids to keep up the whole way.

The Essentials

Steps

  • Strap the snowshoes onto your winter boots, adjusting the bindings across the toe and heel until snug.
  • Take slightly wider steps than usual so the shoes don't overlap and trip you up.
  • Use trekking poles for balance, planting them ahead of each step on uneven snow.
  • Follow marked or well-packed trails when starting out, saving deep untouched snow for later.
  • Rest and hydrate regularly, since trudging through snow burns more energy than normal walking.

Tips

  • Dress in breathable layers, since snowshoeing warms you up fast even in cold weather.
  • Check trail and avalanche conditions before heading into backcountry areas.
  • Bring a small backpack with water, snacks, and a map for longer treks.
  • Try downhill sections cautiously, taking small side steps rather than walking straight down.
