Snowshoeing and cross country skiing are two excellent winter outdoor activities that can be enjoyed by individuals, groups of friends and family members. They are affordable, easy to learn and they provide moderate to vigorous exercise, depending on an individual’s effort. With obesity rates in the U.S. at an all time high, Winter Trails can introduce active and not so active children and adults to sports that provide winter outdoor recreation. In 2011, more than 11,250 people participated in Winter Trails events. For more information, click http://www.snowlink.com/wintertrails.aspx .
