Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Nordic Skis
- Snowshoes
- Telemark Ski Equipment
-
Step 1
Have a price tag in your head of how much you want to spend on winter recreation gear. Snowshoeing is generally cheaper than skiing.
-
Step 2
Consider level of difficulty. Snowshoeing is least difficult to perform where telemark skiing is the most difficult.
-
Step 3
Decide how much time you would like to spend learning a new activity. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are easy to learn and telemark skiing takes more time to learn.
-
Step 4
Choose the type of terrain you'd like to explore. For example, consider skiing in areas with long descents and snowshoeing in areas of tight trees where maneuverability is key.
-
Step 5
Think about how far you would like to travel through the snow. Most often, skiing will take you further than snowshoeing in the same amount of time.
