Snow Shoeing


So when you don't like to Ski (as is the case with Carlos), what is one to do? Answer is to strap on a pair of show shoes and explore the winter landscape. The shoes are really important, with snow in the countryside over 2 feet deep (60 cm) if you didn't have the snow shoes on you would never get through it.
Here is George and Bonnom treckking in the snow
Terry and Steve's house backs up onto the Green Mountain Forrest . We can leave to go snow shoeing right from the back door and meet up with the Catamount trial. Once you hit the trail, its alot easier going as you no longer need to naviagte between the tree'sWhich can be a challange.

After about a 40 minute hike you come to a clearing where you can do any of the following activities before heading back to the house (up hill)


Pose for pictures


Make snow angles
build a fire
make a snow man

have a drink?

All this fun and you burn about 600 calories an hour while snow shoeing. Nothing like the great outdoors!!!!
