Handout
The ideal: You strap on your new snowshoes and head outdoors to
a gorgeous trail, conveniently located in your backyard. You have
an exhilarating workout on fresh snow.
The reality: You live in a neighborhood with incompetent snow
plows. The sidewalks haven't been cleared and street curbs are
blocked by walls of snow. You can either give up running for the
season or pick up a pair of snowshoes.
The Gold Series 12 snowshoe from Crescent Moon Snow Shoes is a
lightweight snowshoe made for walking or running. It has a teardrop
shape that is meant to allow a natural stride.
Weighing just two pounds, the snowshoe can easily be lifted over
a curb or a snow bank. Made with lightweight aluminum, the shoe has
a three-claw traction system. It also tightens with a single loop
pull which is meant to equally distribute the tension. The single
loop pull adjusts tightness for most shoe sizes.
The Gold Series 12 is 22 inches long and eight inches wide. It
is available from size 5 (women's) to size 13 (men's.) Suggested
retail price is $229.95. Available at online retailers such as
BackCountryEdge.com and
Altrec.com. A dealer locator is
