βHi there. I spent 5 winters in New Hampshire on a pair of Tubbs. I ran a lot of hills in Northern Nevada, and craved running. Snowshoeing is like running in quicksand, and a 5K felt like a 10K. I always brought a backpack of provisions, since there was NEVER anyone else out there on the golf courses and rail trails. Enjoy!β
βIn the beginning, every glide felt unsteady. I fellβ¦ a lot. But honestly, learning as an adult comes with a whole different set of challenges. Thereβs this expectation that we should just pick things up quickly. Like all our life experience should somehow translate to being good at everything right away.β
βsnowshoed out to sleeping giant on an extreme weather warning day. high winds and 5-10cm of snow. this was my first time visiting the park in the winter time with full blown snow, not just a late fall with some rinky dink amount and some -5C temp. it was about -18C but with the winds, felt like -28C at night. [...] i ended up snowshoeing back to my car at 630am, as i am an early person. however, while i was warm in my sleeping bag, i could feel the cold air, and decided staying around to enjoy a coffee and eat breakfast wasnt happening. snowshoeing in the dark (with my new headlamp) was a cool experience and make the trail "unfamiliar". i would do it again.β
