Snowshoe Winter Funs
Picture yourself walking across a thick blanket of snow with the
beautiful snow covered wilderness of West Virginia in front of you and
your friends and family behind you. This is a enjoyable trip you will
never forget.
Getting Started
Snowshoeing is fun, energizing and a great way to stay in shape or just
get outdoors in winter. No matter what your age or your ability, if you
can put one foot in front of the other, you can make track. It's that
easy. After two minutes of practice, you'll be cruising around like you
were born with snowshoes on your feet. Not only will you be having fun,
you'll be burning calories, up to 1,000 per hour! So get out there and
enjoy the snow with all your friends and family in the wild wilderness
of West Virginia!
What to wear snowshoeing?
Snowshoeing is a high energy output sport. Start moving and you'll
generate plenty of warmth. You're going to cool down quickly while
resting, the ability to add and remove layers is vital. Some pieces to
consider:
 Lightweight, breathable
long underwear - Wool or fleece insulation layer

- Sock liners (silk, or similar material)
- Wool socks keep feet warm and dry
- Waterproof, supportive hiking boots
