Yeah, the skis are definitely a better mode of transportation
but I can't wade in ski boots. I can put rubbers on my wading
boots and step right into, and out of, snowshoes.
Well it looks as if there are ski trails that follow the river. But
seriously unless its a good snow year (and it isn't predicted to be
one) that part of MN doesn't usually get enough snow to warrant either
skis or snowshoes.
