Buying a pair of snowshoes
How do you choose a pair of snowshoes? Which technical elements should you take into account when choosing your equipment? As with any sports equipment purchase, like buying skis or buying a snowboard for example, buying a pair of snowshoes requires some choices to be made. First of all, you should define your style of snowshoeing — for tranquil walks or for competition. You should also determine the type of terrain you expect to snowshoe on — hikes on trails, alpine hikes or running. In addition, it's imperative to consider the elements of snowshoes: the bindings, the grips and blades, and the grid. And to remain stable during your snowshoeing adventures, make sure you select the right pair of poles.
