Instructions

    • 1

      Examine your backpack. You'll need straps on the side of the pack to attach snowshoes.

    • 2

      Place the top of one snowshoe against a side of your pack, so that the sharp cleats point out and the bindings face in.

    • 3

      Tighten one side strap of your pack directly below the cleats. If you have two straps per side, tighten the extra strap lower on the snowshoe.

    • 4

      Attach the other snowshoe on the other side. When properly attached, the upraised toes of the snowshoes should be in contact with each other.

    • 5

      Make sure the snowshoes are snugly strapped in, then enjoy the ride down.
