Yeah, he wants to snowshoe for exercise. I live kinda sorta in town now, though...so not as easy as an option for me. In the summer I was walking every day, but with the subzero temps and roads narrowed by snow...not to mention the dark...I just haven't done it.

I just picked up a used treadmill for a good price and I'm doing that for now, but I can't wait to get back out and hike again. Unfortunately probably won't be good for hiking until mid to late May, but I can look forward to it anyway...

I can sympathize with the limitations on exercise options when living in town--I used to have that problem all the time. I've got more room now, thankfully. Right now because of the weather I mainly exercise indoors--I made up a cardio-kickboxing routine that's confined enough I can do it within the space of my bedroom. It's not the same as exercising outdoors, though--looking forward to spring!
