The Crows did not use snowshoes because they were a Plains tribe and had large numbers of horses. In the biography of the life of Chief Plenty Coups (recounted to a white American writer entirely in sign language), Plenty Coups recalled many winter war parties he took part in as a young warrior against the Lakota and Pikuni Blackfoot; the Crows used their horses almost like snow ploughs to drive a path through deep snow and create a trail.

Winter hunting was also done on horseback; winter campsites were normally established before the heavy snows came, so very little travelling had to be done until the snow melted again.
