You all know we love a good collaboration here at FM HQ. Especially an unconventional one. And well, here we have a collaboration between Tubbs Snowshoes and North Drinkware, maker of glasware moulded like famous mountain peaks, arriving just in time for winter exploring and holiday gifting.
The limited edition NW x NE Flex VRT 24 Snowshoe ($270) celebrate two icons of America's coastal zones—Mount Rainier and Mount Washington—with topographic designs and matching pint glasses.
And if you're wondering what's up with snowshoeing and why we dig it. Well, essentially hiking, but more adventurous, and rather accessible. The snowshoes act as a platform and allow you to explore snowy areas by distributing your weight over a larger plane so you’re not knee deep in snow (i.e. "post holing"). Once you have the snowshoes the activity is effectively free, just like hiking.
