You'll never know if you don't try - Snowshoeing is the perfect way to revel in winter. The basic movement is just like hiking and you'll pick up on it very quickly. To add It's low impact easy on your knees and is a relatively safe sport. If you have any other question about snowshoeing feel free to email @ runningbuddha@msn.com and if you do venture forth let me know how it goes.

I don't want to spur you on to injury, but I totally think you should try snowshoeing. You know your own personal limits, but I definitely wouldn't let narrow-minded societal concerns determine what you can and can't do. I'm sure most doctors would recommend against it, but they're only saying that to cover their ass. A few years ago, a climber summited Mt. Everest BLIND! I'm sure nobody thought that possible, and most people probably tried to talk him out of it. Fortunately, he didn't listen to the weak-minded majority. I hope this encourages you.
