(More customer reviews)This is an excellent book for someone looking to gain familiarity with the fast growing sport. Steven Griffin gives an excellent overview into many subjects. He discusses how snowshoes have developed over the years and how to pick the right ones. The improtance of bindings is nicely discussed. In addition, Griffin adds that snowshoeing is really quite easy to learn. Also key equipment is discussed in great detail.
Many valuable safety tips are provided as well. The author goes as far as how to rescue someone from an avalanche and key signs of danger to be on the lookout for. Example: Don't walk over partially frozen lakes.
This is a valuable book that can be read quite quickly as I finished it on a roundtrip commuter ride.
