Back before I actually had tried it, my idea of snowshoeing was of strolling uninhibited over the crust without sinking in at all. Sadly that is not the case. Unless you are a little person walking on a pretty thick crust, you do sink in a lot. Hard work for the thigh muscles. But going the same places without snowshoes would be ten times as difficult or impossible. And yeah, the running pell-mell downhill part is unbelievably great. I’m not saying it’s easy.

I ought to borrow a pair of shoes from my dad sometime (the wood and rawhide variety) and give them a whirl. Great photos BTW -- love the river shot.
