Snowshoeing
An ancient and romantically Canadian method of winter travel, snow shoes offer a different winter experience than Nordic skis.Snowshoes are better suited for thick woods and hilly terrain than skis, letting you explore all the nooks and crannies of the landscape. Snow shoes are also very easy to use, requiring no experience other than simple hiking. Perfect for a family afternoon in the snow.
