A couple from Buffalo visited the Montezuma Audubon Center recently and rented a pair of snowshoes from the center for the day to walk on the two miles of trails there.
“It was the first time they had gotten out on shoeshoes,” said Chris Lajewski, manager at the Center, located in Savannah in Wayne County. “They said afterward that they had a great time and were going to a buy some.”
They’re going to find it difficult.
This winter, due to the pandemic and folks wanting to get outdoors and try new things, there has been an unprecedented run on snowshoes. A quick survey of six, Upstate NY sporting good stores this week indicated they were all out, or that pairs were being sold almost on the day they came in – particularly the cheaper or middle-priced pairs.
