Snowshoeing by Jim Tucker Historical Development: Snowshoeing is known to have been practiced in present-day central Asia about 6,000 years ago. It is believed that as these ancestors to the Inuits and Native Americans, migrated from Asia to North America, they brought the snowshoes with them, which were modified slabs of wood. It was not too long before this evolved into the white ash framed snowshoes with the raw hide lacing that we associate with snowshoeing today. The wooden snowshoes are generally categorized in three different styles or shapes. The oval shaped bear paw was designed for use in forested conditions where maneuverability was most important. The truly long (46+ inches) Yukon snowshoe was developed for traversing deep powder-covered open areas, common in the Northwest. The beavertail seemed to take advantage of the best features of both the bear paw and the Yukon, and has been utilized in all types of snow conditions. Neoprene Decking: Modern recreational users and professionals appreciated how neoprene did not stretch like rawhide when it became wet, and did not require annual treatment with shellac. Difficulties with Woodies: Those introduced to wood framed snowshoes often-encountered difficulty with the bindings and keeping the snowshoes on.

Snowshoeing Tips Simply Snowshoeing by Carl Heilman II Walking in the snow on snowshoes is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing things I've done. It's hard to explain to someone how something so simple can be so rewarding until they've tried snowshoeing themselves. Each time I put on my snowshoes and walk in an enchanted woods that's draped with a fresh mantle of snow, I still feel the same magic I felt the first time I put on a pair of snowshoes and headed off across the snow. Snowshoes have been in use for as long as 6000 years and they're one of the earliest forms of transportation. Over the centuries, many different sizes and styles of snowshoes were designed for all the various types of snow conditions and topography. Since snowshoes were used more for utility and survival, they were designed for weight carrying capacity, and tended to be a good bit larger than what we're using today. While the traditional styles used through much of this century were the result of centuries of evolution, the past 10 years of snowshoe evolution has seemed to be almost more of a revolution.
