Hmmm....

Snow shoeing is fun. But I would never snow shoe when I could go skiing! Sooo much MORE fun! I'll leave the "trudge! trudge" thingy to you, while I go "gliiiiiiiiiide! gliiiiiiiiide". Contrary to popular belief, nordic skiing was invented before anyone prepared groomed tracks... The slinky thin modern racing skiis are useless outside carefully groomed tracks, but most old fashioned skiis that aren't purpose built competition skiis will do OK if the snow isn't too loose.

Of course snow shoes have their uses, such as hunting in very challenging terrain and snow conditions. Or carrying your snowboard up a mountainside.
