Make an impression...with SNOWSHOES!
You don’t need to be a hearty outdoors person to enjoy snowshoeing. Rolling terrain, open fields, and packed trails beckon to all who want to enjoy winter's quiet beauty.

Winter snows change green trails into glistening wonderlands. Waterfalls turn into icefalls. We become the first explorers in a new-fallen snow.
Winter is a time for everyone to get outdoors. Snowshoes enhance your experience no matter what your interest. Exercise walkers and runners can continue their workouts. Families can have a great time following animal tracks in the snow and enjoying a winter picnic. More technical snowshoes can get hikers and backpackers where they want to go. |
Size: Snowshoe size is determined by the user’s weight (with gear), the terrain, and snow conditions. Deep snow requires longer snowshoes than a packed trail.
Quality: These aren’t your grandpa's clumsy wooden shoes. The new designs have aluminum frames and crampons. The decking material is durable and maintenance-free. We carry Tubbs snowshoes, which have a lifetime warranty.
Ease of use: Snowshoes are easy to put on. Just slip your winter boot into the bindings and pull a few straps.
Walking is natural and easy. No penguin waddle! Trekking poles add stability and give your upper body a workout. Healthy, fun, and inexpensive! Come in and try a pair!
