No you aren't. Know I'm not either, after seeing what this guy manages to do out there.

Cheers,

Neat Rick. I can't do what I could a few years ago. Did a hour and 40 minute shoe a week ago. That was far enough, just about all uphill.

After trying to snowshoe 10 miles per day this winter (and failing to do so), I decided to totally give up on snowshoes and bought myself skishoe "Altai Skis" for the next winter.

It's just not as much fun to walk at the speed of 1-1.5 mph when you can ski at 3-5 mph smile
