The winter is approaching fast, and my thoughts went to colder weather and snow. I started thinking about the different clothing and equipment that one would use in the snow. I thought about snowshoes, and how they help when walking through areas where there is a lot of snow, especially soft snow. They prevent you from sinking in the soft snow because they "spread" the downward force that our bodies exert on the snow by increasing the area on which the force is acting on. This reduces the pressure on the snow's surface and enables people to walk in snow easier without having to tread through it.
