Snowshoeing doesn't get its due--it's a great form of exercise, allows you to go off trail in deep snow when you would otherwise miss out on all kinds of views, and there is virtually no risk of breaking bones or tearing ligaments, unlike skiing. It's not sexy like those downhill chases in James Bond movies, but I'm not sexy, anyway. Are you sold yet? Here are some perfect spots to try out your new favorite non-sport:
