Frist time out on snowshoes

by sunny on December 11, 2007

Last night our snowshoes arrived. We ordered the Atlas 12 series shoes (I got E1227 and Brenton got 1230). Any new toy has to be tried out right away. We started out in the house practicing adjusting the snowshoes.

I decided that it would be easier to leave the snowboots in the snowshoe bindings and then put the whole thing on when we got to the park.

We got out to the park and stomped around the park for a while, tried running, and watched the stars for a while. After about 20 minutes, I was plenty cold enough to go home. I checked the weather when we got home, and it was 12 degrees outside.

We headed back to the car and I started to undo the bindings on our snowshoes. What I found when I leaned over, left me doubled up laughing. When I put my snowshoes and boots on, I managed to put them on backwards. I think I might have to paint an R and L on my snowboots after this. You’d think I would know how to put my shoes on by now.
