godd review of snowshoeing

Gives you a feeling that you are living out the increasing popularity of the sport and technologic advancements in types of shoes and gear. Compares climate, snow conditions, terrain in various parts of the country. Good tips on preparedness for being outdoors in various conditions.

Well written

This well written book covers snowshoeing in depth (techniques, shoe and binding options, racing, history, and more) and related topics (winter camping, snow shelters, winter clothing, winter safety, winter route finding, and more). An experienced winter camper or snowshoer won't find too much that is new, but will no doubt get some fresh ideas from reading this book. For someone new to snowshoeing and winter camping, the book is recommended.
