Snowshoeing is no exception. And since it&#8217;s a winter-only sport, the weather can be twice as dangerous.\u00a0Whether you snowshoe to have a casual trek in your backyard, or off an long trail in the backcountry, there are certain weather conditions to look for to have an excellent hike.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep Eyes on the Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1347\" src=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/good-weather.jpg\" alt=\"clear sky minimum wind weather for snowshoeing\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/good-weather.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/good-weather-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Being an outdoor sport, weather plays a huge part in your snowshoeing plan. You want to go snowshoeing under the best possible weather, which is a clear sky and minimum wind for an easy trek. Get a weather app that will give you real-time updates. A change in weather, no matter how slight, can greatly affect your plan.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a heavy snowfall happened at the night before your planned trip. This will cover some trail marks, making the trek harder than it should be. It also can be very dangerous since the snow can build up and cover some edges and holes.<\/p>\n<p>A last-minute change in weather can also affect wind and overall temperature. You may need one or two extra layers of clothing. As you can see, the weather is not only affecting the trek, but also your comfort and safety.<\/p>\n<p>For the best estimate and most recent update on the weather condition, you can call the park a day before you go and see if the trek is open and safe to go through.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Snow for Snowshoeing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1348\" src=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/snowshoe-pole.jpg\" alt=\"snowshoes and trekking pole\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/snowshoe-pole.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/snowshoe-pole-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Weather is not the only thing that you need to pay attention to. A clear sky with minimum wind can be the perfect weather, but it\u2019s all rendered useless when there is no snow to trek. To snowshoe, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/how-much-snow-do-you-need-to-snowshoe\/\">snow must be at least 4-inch\u2019s thick<\/a>. If the snow is more than 8-inch thick, you will need a snowshoe with the right traction as well as a <a href=\"https:\/\/bestsnowshoesreview.com\/snowshoe-poles\/\">trekking pole<\/a> to help you.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the trek isn\u2019t always easy and flat, the snow is not always powdery. It can be hard and crusty or even wet. Snow can give a false impression on the terrain underneath your feet. So you have to stay alert even on powdery snow. Sometimes you will get to experience many types of snow in a single trek. This often happens when you trek on an area that is also a popular spot for skiers and snowboarders.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Always Come Well-Prepared<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Good preparation means you are halfway ready for the trek. Always pack your gear based on necessity. Essential supplies like drink, medicines and trekking poles should be within arm\u2019s reach for a moment\u2019s notice. And if you plan to document your trip, make sure that you can operate your camera without taking your gloves off. Your safety is more important than taking a beautiful shot. Never underestimate a trek just because they are labeled as easy.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the right snowshoe is more than just about calculating the total weight you\u2019re carrying. But it\u2019s also about the trek you are about to go to. Some snowshoes work better in flat terrain instead of a steep one and vice versa. Whether you buy or rent your snowshoes, make sure that you choose the right snowshoes for the trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to outdoor sports, there are external factors that will affect you.
