 Dwight
Peck's personal Web site
Snowshoeing
in Switzerland
If
you like photos of people who've not yet learnt to ski or have progressed way
beyond that, here is a reverse-chronological index of the snowshoeing photos on
this website.
It's a wonderful sport -- safe, healthful, and not terribly taxing -- rather like golf in that respect, except that for snowshoeing you don't need to rent a golf cart and plaid trousers.
