I use ski poles. Two of them for good balance.
Snowshoes are pretty straightforward but getting up after falling in soft snow is a workout and it's pretty tough to sidehill.

It's also very tiring travel. A mile on snowshoes on anything but hard ice or hard crust is about like 3 miles of hiking (or more).

And you have to keep your feet wider apart than normal so some of the muscles will be different (and weak at first).

Still beats sitting on the couch wishing for Spring.
