Once you've gotten the hang of snowshoeing, you will be ready to tackle more ambitious hikes. For these, you can use regular hiking trails, but in the winter. If you lack snow in your area you may need to visit a ski hill or other snow location.

You can also tow extra gear (or small children) on a sled with little additional effort, meaning you can take equipment (or family members) that you would otherwise have to carry. Such extras could include camera equipment, lunch, camp chairs, and even a grill for cooking your food or warming some apple cider. This is a distinct advantage that snowshoeing holds over hiking.

To get your approximate speed, time yourself as you travel (stop the clock when you stop to rest for an extended period). Take along a GPS receiver so you can track where you've been (and thus, the distance you've covered). Google maps has tools available to measure distance as well, but it's not always easy to tell where you've been by looking at an online map or satellite image. You can also determine distance covered by using a topographical map. Once you know how far you've gone and the amount of time it took you to cover that distance, your speed is simply distance divided by time:

[math]\displaystyle{ speed = \frac{distance}{time} }[/math]

If your distance is measured in miles and time is measured in hours, speed will be in miles per hour. To convert hours and minutes to just hours, divide the minutes by 60 and add it to hours:

[math]\displaystyle{ hours = whole hours + \frac{minutes}{60} }[/math]

Thus, two whole hours plus 18 minutes would be:

[math]\displaystyle{ hours = 2 + \frac{18}{60} = 2 + 0.3 = 2.3 }[/math]

If you covered 4.5 miles in that period of time, that would be

[math]\displaystyle{ speed = \frac{4.5}{2.3} = 1.95 MPH }[/math]

Después de una de sus excursiones, escribir un párrafo explorando las dimensiones espirituales de la nieve. Asegurarse de incluir por lo menos tres referencias bíblicas a la nieve.

Consult a concordance or search for "snow" in an online Bible.

Many Bible references to snow use snow to define a color or appearance i.e. "white as snow" including the concept of purity. A few refer to actual snow. Snow is a source of moisture and coolness.

Read several of these passages and see what sort of spiritual lessons you can take away from them. Also think about the things you experienced on your hikes Snowshoe hikes are often serene and peaceful and filled with inexpressible beauty. Is that what you experienced?
