Description: Snowshoeing is a great way to get around in winter. With no fancy techniques or complex theories to learn, & requiring only modest physical effort not all that different from walking, snowshoeing is the fastest growing winter sport-also due in some measure to the development of high-tech, lightweight, maintenance-free snowshoes. The Essential Snowshoer is the perfect introduction to this refreshingly uncomplicated pursuit that Newsweek has said "could become the hottest snow sport of the '90s." Rudimentary enough for neophytes, this pithy guide also covers more advanced skills used in snowshoe running, racing, & winter backcountry travel. Using the reader-friendly, highly visual format of other books in the Essential series, professional outdoor teacher & guide Marianne Zwosta explains step by step how to get started & gradually embrace greater challenges. She offers plenty of advice on staying warm, comfortable, & safe-regardless of the conditions.
