WHAT IS A...
Snowshoe: A snowshoe is a specialized footwear device crafted for walking on snow. Its designed to distribute weight and prevent sinking. It features straps to attach securely to your boots and includes traction elements, such as crampons on the bottom, to improve stability on slippery terrain.
Traction Device: A traction device provides grip and stability on icy or snowy surfaces by featuring small, sharp metal or rubber spikes that dig into the terrain, helping to prevent slips and falls during winter conditions.
Sugar on Snow: Sugar on snow is a traditional maple sugaring treat where hot maple syrup is poured over snow, causing it to cool and thicken into a chewy, caramel-like consistency.
