Snowshoeing? Hmm I will give you the benefit of the doubt on the entertainment value of that. I do hope we get plenty of snow so I can break out my sled this year. That is the only winter sport gear I have. My bike and my kayak are just not that much fun in the winter :P I don't have the cash to get into snowmobiling which is the big winter activity around here. Maybe I should get some ice skates or something.
If you like hiking, you would like snowshoeing. We made trails all around through the woods by my Dad's house - just wandering around out there in the woods, seeing animal tracks (and animals, for that matter) and being able to get out and about was great.
Snowmobiling is the big thing here, too. All the guys I work with are wayyyyyy into it. Personally...I'm not that big on machinery, PLUS I'm broke...
