What is Snowshoes? Flat platforms that distribute weight over snow, allowing walking on deep powder.
Snowshoes are flat platforms (modern versions made of aluminum and synthetic decking) that strap to boots and distribute body weight over a larger area, preventing the wearer from sinking into deep snow. Used for winter hiking, hunting, and access to terrain otherwise impassable. Modern snowshoes are lightweight and easy to learn — most users are comfortable within 30 minutes of trying them.
