Snowshoe
White-footed feline breed
A snowshoe is a flat, wide frame attached to footwear that distributes weight over a larger area, allowing a person to walk on deep snow without sinking.
Traditional snowshoes use a wooden frame with rawhide webbing; modern versions are often aluminum and synthetic.
To snowshoe is to travel this way: We snowshoed three miles to the cabin.
