When deep snow covers the hiking and biking trails, it's time to explore the woods on showshoes. This enjoyable adventure gives you the opportunity to be part of the quiet and pristine backcountry, and gives you a great workout to boot. Equipment rentals are available at local sporting goods stores, as well as at the Breckenridge and Frisco Nordic Centers where they have set aside special trails for snowshoers. You can call them at 970.453.6855 or 970.668.0866, or visit their website
