If you ask my family about show-shoeing, you’ll get a range of answers, but for my money, it’s one of the best winter outdoor activities (weather permitting of course). When the snow falls, you just strap on these funny-looking contraptions and head out for a walk. We’ve trekked locally and in the high peaks of the Adirondacks. It’s a great cardio workout, an opportunity to have a rigorous but quiet communion with nature, and is low impact on the environment and your knees!
