Powder and Ice:
(Part 7 of 10)
- The deeper the powder the shorter your steps will be.
- You will use more energy in deep powder because you will be lifting each snowshoe higher.
- Take it slow and take breaks...speed is not an issue.
- If you encounter ice or a hard crust on top of snow, stop and survey the terrain. If there is an easy way around the condition, take it. If not, and you have a pair or crampons or yax trax in your pack, use them.
