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.

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 enable us to do this in many different styles. 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, the terrain, and snow conditions. A packed trail would not require as much length as a snowshoe used in deep snow.
Weight: These aren’t your granddaddy's heavy, 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 to stability and give you an upper-body workout. Healthy, fun, inexpensive and safe! Come in and try on a pair!
