Have you ever been snowshoeing or cross-country skiing? If you’ve chosen the right wax, hopefully snow doesn’t build up on the bottom of your skis though there’s no much you can do about snowshoes. And even snowshoe hares, as well adapted as they are, need to clean the snow out from between their toes. Snowshoe hares are named because they have really large rear feet which help them navigate over snow much like a pair of snowshoes do for us.
