Snowshoes in the past were used mostly for hunting and gathering among native people as a mode of transport during the winter months. Or this has been the prevailing thought. However, some scientist believe the origin of snowshoes could go back as far as 4,000 years ago. This usage may have arisen from different reasons. Today, most people are using them recreationally although a small number have discovered their usefulness as a fitness tool in the long winter months.
