Me and my family went snow shoeing yesterday. We did just over 5 miles, round trip. I'd never been show shoeing before and let me tell you, It was really fun. We started out on the Chamisa trail near the bottom of the Santa Fe ski basin road and followed it up to where it intersects with Windsor. Most of the trail had already been snow packed and you would think that that would make the need for snow shoes moot, but quite the opposite - the shoes were traction machines, making the steeps a cake walk. Once we got out into a clearing I tried blazing a trail through some fresh pow. Even though you would sink and not really stay on top of the snow (like you would think) it made the sink factor extremely predictable; never did one foot fall way deep and snow got down up into your pant leg.
Overall, Snow Shoeing: A++++++ WOULD TRY AGAIN!!!!!

Holy cow--I would never have thought snowshoeing was at all interesting. I guess it's always seemed like one of those activities one undertakes solely because it's required. You know, like showering.
Showering aside...
Those shoes are HIP as shit!
