The novelty of this white stuff on the ground is fading fast….

Last year I was thinking it might be nice to have a set of these:

And, like an idiot, once the snow faded away I didn’t follow up on it. Now I’m cursing myself because I could really use a set of these things right now. So, I checked the SG catalog this morning and not only do they have the ‘classic’ style of snowshoe they also have the more popular version:

What’s the difference? Well one is more maneuverable than the other, mostly. For the price, I’m thinking I’ll get a pair of each to try out.

What i really could have used yesterday was this little number to haul my stuff back to the house yesterday.

We usually don’t get this kinda weather in this part of Montana but that’s really no excuse…there’s nothing to say I will always be in this part of Montana and, apparently, from time to time we do get a bit of a snowpocalypse going on.

Looks like I’m gonna have to free up a few bucks and get these snowshoes before they sell out like all the other cool stuff I want and never seem to get around to getting.
