Low snow doesn't disappoint on the Door Peninsula
According to the National Climate Data Center, the average annual snowfall there is 48 inches. The Door County Visitor Bureau make the most of it, promoting cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, sleigh rides, dog sledding, winter camping, ice fishing, snowmobiling and winter festivals.
Discover snowshoeing
Snowshoeing isn't what it used to be. While snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross country and downhill skiing enjoy great popularity as winter recreational pursuits, snowshoeing, for years, was stuck with the reputation of being an activity you did because you had to. When you had to get somewhere and the snow was too deep for skis or snowmobiles, you strapped on snowshoes, usually giant wooden ones. Most snowshoes spent their lifetime hanging in storage or displayed over fireplace mantles, only seeing light after blizzards or at garage sales.
