I have to say that this whole thread inspired me to go out and try something that I have wanted to do for years! THANK YOU!!!!
Hey I'm so glad you enjoyed your first snowshoeing and that this thread inspired you! How great!

The hardest workout I ever got was a hike through a trail in the woods last year on my SS over a freshly fallen 12" fluffy snow. It was only about 3 miles but it wound uphill and downhill through the forest and each step I sunk about 8" down and OMG I thought I would die, my legs and quads were in agony....and this after cycling about 100 miles per week in hilly country all summer and fall! Monster workout.

We were supposed to get 4-8" this weekend....but yet again we got GYPPED and only got 2"....not enough to do diddly poop in.

Lucky I have my roller skating at the rink to fall back on....
(ooops...never say "roller skating" and "fall back on" in the same sentence! my tailbone shudders just thinking about it... )
