The Snowshoe Experience

A good book for learning about snowshoeing. It includes the history of snowshoes, how to snowshoe, and even some things to enjoy along the way - i.e. animal tracks in the snow.

Great Little Book

This a great book. I have purchased 5 copies over the past two years and given them to friends and students that are interested in snowshoeing. The author knows what she is talking about! You do not have to have a lot of previous experience to enjoy this book. I highly recommend this publication for beginner and intermediate level snowshoers.
