[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1574620, member: 54178"] Buy some Black Diamond Glidelite short skis with the Balata-type bindings for your hunting boots and use them as "sliding snowshoes". Some skiing skills help on downhills or use climbing skins all the time for max control up as well as down. These are FAR easier to use than snowshoes. Believe me, as a former Nordic ski patroller and backcountry skier, my MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes are a PITA in deep snow compared to my short, fat Telemark skis with climbing skins. P.S. I too am fighting "The Battle of the Bulge" ;o) Eric B. [/QUOTE]
