I like to welcome you to expertvillage.com. We are going to talk about how to walk on snowshoes. Once you have your snowshoes on, it is actually quiet easy. You just need to walk forward and the biggest mistake people make sometimes is getting too big of a snowshoe. We like to just walk on these comfortable snowshoes and sometimes you will feel it a little bit in your hips the next day. Because you are stance is so slightly, slightly a little bit further apart then maybe regular walking. You do have some resistance with the snow depending on how deep the snow is. But it is very easy to walk and again, it is a good time to practice this at a park or at a school yard. Somewhere close to home so you can get a idea of it before you go up to a wilderness area or a more isolated area. Using the poles definitely helps to be able to keep your balance and snowshoeing is just a lot of fun to be able to go out and see the beautiful outdoors in the winter time. That is how you snowshoe.
