Couple of inches of freash powder on the ground, skies clearing, temperatures dropping (heading for sub zero) and a nearly full moon out -- sounds like a good night to go snowshoeing! Any other lunatics going out to play in the snow tonight? There is nothing like tramping around in the woods in the snow on a cold, moon lite night.
BTW, here's a tip I figured out recently: I've always had trouble with the back strap of my snowshoes sliding off the heel of my boot. This can turn into a real PITA when it starts to happen often, usually in deep snow.
I finally figured out how to solve that problem by adding a piece of string (shoe lace) looped around the back strap and then tied around the front of my boot. That is enough to keep the strap from sliding down off the heel.
