4) Fun ways to stay active during the Winter Season, Snowshoeing
If you like hiking, I can almost guarantee you will enjoy snowshoeing. It is is easy to learn, and in appropriate conditions is a relatively safe and inexpensive recreational activity. Just about anyone of any age or fitness level can snowshoe- if you can walk and have decent stability, you can snowshoe. They are essential for getting around in areas of deep and frequent snowfall, and are necessary for hikers and runners who want to continue their hobby in wintertime.
When purchasing or renting equipment you want to make sure you select the approprite size to support your weight and the proper length ski poles based on your height. I would also recomend bringing a backpack and dressing in layers so you can easily add or remove clothing based on enviromental and weather conditions. It is also not a bad idea to bring along water and snacks depending on the length of you trail.
Have a blast, stay fit and enjoy the beauty of nature...
