orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Snowshoeing is super easy and a great workout. I did a little blog post with pics and automatic little slideshow of some of the great mountain lush snowy scenery we have seen over the years. We do other stuff at these areas too. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

How long does it take a person to learn to snowshoe? _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

I would recommend that a person walk at least a mile or more nearly daily in advance and do some stretching exercises also to be more limber. I think several people here would love it. It's so easy but a great workout, particularily in hillier areas. Or mountain slopes. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

It really doesn't take much training if you're in shape. _________________________ My handcrafted jewelry: limited edition designs more jewelry, plus bead supplies Poet and essayist

Sandy N. Registered: 12/23/10 Posts: 201 Loc: Washington State	My best friend and I walk together -- even though she lives in Texas and I live in Washington State. We talk on our cell phones while walking! (We call it "Walkie-Talkie.") I wrote a little story about it and posted it on my blog: http://iousex.blogspot.com/ Snowshoeing sounds like fun. The U. S. Forest Service offers free interpretive snowshoe walks at Snoqualmie Pass (near Seattle) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays -- and they even provide the snowshoes. I'm just not sure I'm in good enough shape to enjoy it. _________________________ Sandy Nachlinger, author of BLUEBONNETS FOR ELLY; co-author with Sandra Allen of I.O.U.

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Sandy please take advantage of the snowshoeing. If you have a companion along, you'll enjoy it. It really is dreamy among the snow-draped trees and mountains because you get out in areas where the snow is deep and really lush. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Lovely shots on blog. We got lots of snow last night so this is one day we could probably snowshoe, but I have none. Since I love to walk, I bet I'd love snowshoeing. orchid, I enjoy reading about your adventures. Keep enjoying the outdoors! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
