Any snowshoers or backcountry skiers here? [View all]
"Signed up" for both. Not going to sit around during a long Michigan winter. Bought aluminum snowshoes and poles from REI back in October when they were almost $100 off.
Ordered a pair of Fischer E99 Crown Xtralite skis with bindings, boots, poles, and a waxing kit this morning.
I'm going to an Intro to Snowshoeing next week at REI, and same for skiing in December.
Used to x-country ski as a kid, high school age, but didn't pursue it.
Any tips, hints, suggestions?
