Snowshoeing originated thousands of years ago by the the First Nations people of the Northern Hemisphere as a way to travel over deep winter snow. Today snowshoe designs have evolved utilising aluminum and modern composites materials.
There’s nothing too scary about them. You strap your shoe in, and you just walk.
The snowshoes that are ideal in Australia are tough plastic-ey designs, making them durable on Australian rocks, sticks and icy snow conditions. There are other types of tennis racket snowshoes in the world which are fine for a metre of powder but unfortunately that usually isn't the case in our climate.
Snowshoes have “heel raisers” which make walking up hills much more pleasant – a bit of metal goes under your heel and “raises” it.
(and probably already have in your kit!)
Check out our Snowshoe range or hire a pair to try it out on your next snow adventure.

This past month, Canberra’s trail running community came together at the Frith Road Substation in O’Connor for an action-packed night of testing, learning, and connecting. The Mont Trail Running Shoe Demo gave runners of all levels the chance to put the latest footwear from La Sportiva, On Running, Altra, and Hoka through their paces on a dedicated 1.2km trail loop that quickly became a Strava segment.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.
