Snowshoes.com helps users find trails for snowshoeing and offers education on the ins and outs behind proper snowshoe fitting and selection. The “Learn” section of the website now features a breadth of resources on everything from what to wear and how to be prepared for cold weather, to tips and tricks and snowshoe games for kids. The site has been updated for the 2013-14 season with new trail mapping technology, mobile accessibility and education on all things snowshoeing.
The workshops are just one facet of the snowshoes.com interactive community created by the two brands, which are owned by K2 Sports, a Seattle-based unit of Jarden Corp.’s Outdoor Solutions segment.
