Have you ever wondered what snowshoeing is all about? Snowshoeing is a popular winter sport that involves walking or hiking on snow-covered terrain using special footwear called snowshoes. These snowshoes are designed to distribute your weight over a larger surface area, preventing you from sinking into the snow.
