Wear a thin, breathable base layer, with an insulating layer of fleece, wool or down. Your outermost layer should be a wind and water resistant, breathable coat or jacket. Make sure to wear a hat and winter gloves, too.

]]> 87494 2 0 Step Fix up your feet Wear thick socks to keep your feet warm. Lace up your boots, and pull the gaiters over them. Gaiters will keep snow from getting inside your boots.

]]> 87495 3 0 Tip Choose the smallest, lightest-weight snowshoes that will support you, your winter gear, and your pack.

]]> 87496 4 0 Step Strap in Strap your feet into the snowshoes, and start walking. Congratulations! You are now a snowshoer! Use trekking poles or ski poles to help you keep your balance and walk uphill and downhill.
