Snowshoe Lacing Workshop

Snowshoe Lacing Workshop

Lacing your own snowshoes makes a great family project! Create a family heirloom or just have fun learning with guided, step-by-step instruction. You will also get information on the heritage of snowshoes from ancient survival to modern-day recreation. Choose fully functional models or smaller ‘minis’ that are perfect to decorate your den. Just interested in the how-to? Select the instruction-only option. See examples of kits at http://snowshoe.com.
