Nordic walking in snow

Winter is coming, so it pays to be prepared.

This video from some time ago illustrates why Nordic walking poles have baskets at their bottoms. It also illustrates how you can take the rubber boots off so you can use the metal tips in snow and soft terrain.

The video also demonstrates how the Nordic walking poles aid in balance and stability should you have to go out in snow and ice.
