Snowshoeing

Did you try cross country skiing? Great cardio...

I love hiking in the summer but snowshoing is, to me, awkward and reduces your mobility for no good reason - I feel like I'm wearing flippers and trying to walk. The proper skiis with the right snow makes for a fun time (anything else is too bulky to get a good rhythm). Mmm... good rhythms :)
Photography is another one of my hobbies, and I don't see any way I would be able to shoot photos, let alone make it out with my camera in one piece, if I were on skis.

Look into back-country skiis. Not intended for sliding around, although you can. They are wide and long and an alternative to snowshoes for bush whacking and breaking trail in fresh or packed snow.
 
Player: neat place to snowshoe is near Mansfield on Airport road. Lots of acreage and bush.
