1. Snowshoes & Snowshoeing Page - A Snowshoe Primer
   A snowshoe primer and complete and concise guide to snowshoes and snowshoeing by Adirondack guide and snowshoeing workshop presenter Carl Heilman II.  
   http://www.carlheilman.com/snowshoe.html
   
   Extractions: Carl Heilman has been involved in the sport of snowshoeing ever since making his first pair of snowshoes in the early 1970's. He has written numerous articles on the subject and has also published a booklet on making snowshoes (unnavailable until fall 2004). He's been leading beginner's and advanced snowshoeing workshops for the Adirondack Mtn. Club and the Appalachian Mtn. Club since the mid 1980's and has also done programs and workshops for many other organizations and schools throughout the northeast. He has also led snowshoe clinics for the major outdoor industry trade show held each winter in Salt Lake City. Carl handcrafted his 'high-tech' traditional snowshoes until 1997, and has also done some snowshoe design consulting work with major manufacturers. His snowshoes have been used all over the world, and some of his ideas for snowshoe design have been incorporated into commercial designs. While he enjoys passing along his expertise on snowshoeing and winter travel, he especially enjoys seeing folks turn-on to the sport after using snowshoes for the first time! The following pages are a result of his trying to help demystify the sport of snowshoeing and choosing snowshoes. Each facet of snowshoes and snowshoeing has been broken down into it's simplest components. Hopefully this will help provide a better understanding of snowshoes so folks can more easily choose snowshoes that are best suited for them, and help them take those first steps in the snow with confidence!

   Tips, techniques, and gear advice.  
   http://www.backpacking.net/winter.html
   
   Extractions: " The seasons are for our enjoyment - get out in it ! " The Lightweight Backpacker There's probably a few good reasons to hang up the hiking boots during the WinterI just can't think of one ! Many of the trails that we travel in Spring, Summer, and Fall are also available during the Winter. Many public parks, cities, and towns maintain trail systems which remain accessible for Winter hiking and even snowshoeing. Some have special rules that apply to Winter use so check with them for specifics. If nothing else, it's a great way to keep those hiking muscles active. Many lowland backcountry trails are also available year-round, albeit muddy. Trails in the mountains, (although buried in deep snow) are also traversable (with the help of some special gear). With some additional education, training, and gear, there's no reason we can't be just as actively hiking in the Winter as in the other three seasons. Check it out ! Find out what's available in your area. You might be surprised at the possibilities. For the higher elevations, why not try snowshoeing ?

    Extractions: Snowshoeing the Superior Hiking Trail Wait... Before you get lost in my snowshoeing adventure, check out my recent trip to Costa Rica When I started planning our snowshoeing trip I spent a lot of time trying to find information about some hikes on the internet. I was somewhat unlucky and only found good information from the Superior Hiking Trail Association Website. Hopefully, my recap of my trip can help you plan yours. Hike 1 - Gooseberry Falls State Park We did this hike the first day, because I thought it would be nice to see the falls and it would be a nice start to a three day trip. Our goal was to follow the snowshoe path up the south side of the river to the fifth falls and then cross the river and come back down on the north side of the river. Unfortunately the path had such little snow cover we decided almost immediately to hike on Gooseberry River.
