Summary: Snowshoes were originally developed over 4000 years ago probably somewhere in central Asia for hunters and travelers to be able to cover large areas of frozen terrain in search of food or shelter. All you need now is a 32 degree rainy day outside and some webs on your feet and you can walk across stretches of frozen rain for as long as you like. They work by distributing a person's weight over a larger surface area so they don't sink into the snow. Today they allow for competitive runners and athletes to continue to train throughout the winter months in areas covered in snow, as well as providing a unique outlet for general recreation and exercise.

In this free video series, a coach on adaptive winter sports will demonstrate how snowshoeing can fit in with adaptive lives of people with special needs. Equipment will be discussed, as will stretching, building trust, stopping, turning, and overcoming fear. Besides being a good activity to benefit a person's general health, snowshoeing can be a fun activity as well.
