Have you seen the first snowflakes fall? The time has come to practice adventure sports, where? On the ski slopes. There are countless sports to practice throughout the year and as it could not be otherwise, winter is also full of emotion.
How would you like to walk in the snow? You will think that it is cold, that you would be very tired, that your feet would sink... Well, you may be cold but it is enough to dress warmly and be prepared for a day in the snow. As for the fact that you might get tired, it's obviously not the same as walking on solid ground, but are you going to let this opportunity pass you by? You'll rest when you return home! And whether or not your feet would sink... Haven't you heard of snowshoes?
Snowshoes are the ideal tool for walking on the white landscape. Nature lovers cannot miss this activity, so be very careful when deciding to stay at home watching a movie with the heating on. Trying to walk on the snow can be very difficult, as it is obvious that your feet sink and you end up very tired without barely moving forward.
But if you use snowshoes you will realize that it is much easier than you initially imagined, being able to walk for much longer and in a more comfortable way than it seems. An invention that has been among mountaineers for many centuries but that over the years has been transformed into very sophisticated elements.
Its use is not very complicated, because the only thing you have to get used to is the volume of your feet: they will seem wider than normal. It is important that the rackets have heel rises and that when you do the rises you do it in a zig-zag shape. To go down, carry the racket in a fixed position, this way you will have greater control when taking steps and it is recommended that you avoid icy slopes.
They have mobile fixings that block them on descents and allow the ascents to be very calm. It is very important that you choose ones with which you feel completely comfortable, as you have to keep in mind that taking an excursion with them can last a few hours and if you are upset it can be a bad experience.
The size of the snowshoe has to be related to your weight and remember that the materials that are especially suitable for you Lighter ones may be less resistant. Pay attention to the boots you wear, because they have to fit the racket bindings. If you choose the ones with straps you won't have to worry about anything, as they adapt to all types of rackets.
Something very important: if the snow is hard, you will need the snowshoes to have a metal blade on both the sides and the toe. It is not recommended that it be used on icy surfaces and however, some poles should not be missing from your equipment.
Once you have everything ready, be sure to go to a snowshoe school because they will be able to teach you not only how to use them but also some of the most beautiful landscapes.
