If you want to get outside during the winter and don't ski, snowboard or snowmobile, try snowshoeing. I know people who love to get out on the bright white snow on a sunny day, get some fresh air and a great workout on their snowshoes.

According to the experts, it's recommended that you bring along a few items when you're out in the elements, snowshoeing, and a backpack is the best way to carry them.

Items to take with you:

1. Water

2. Cell Phone

3. Sunglasses

4. Headband/wool hat

5. Lip balm

6. Trail snack (such as trail mix)
