My wife and I finally got to use our snow shoes that we bought six years ago. The winters have been real let downs with snows melting within a day or two, lots of rain, and a couple of dry years. While trekking around the hills of an old mine we more or less followed some ski tracks. I was surprised at how many steep climbs the person ascended. I would not have made that kind of effort, inching, literally inching, my way up a slope with my feet angled spread out to be able to keep the skis from overlapping each other. Power to anyone willing to do that. It was enough effort to climb in snowshoes.
