If you live in the Bulkley Valley and Lakes district or if you plan to visit Smithers, Houston or Burns Lake then you should know that this area has immense opportunity for recreational snowshoeing.  You can simply go for a short hike or you can access remote backcountry areas by snowshoe.  This area of BC gets a lot of snow and has a long winter so snowshoeing is an excellent way to pass the season.

Going snowshoeing or skiing and don't want to carry your pack?  Check out our X-T-Ski skimmer.  This skimmer attaches to your waist and allows you to haul heavy loads over snowy terrain with little effort.  I have found it an excellent way to bring small children allong on the outing.
