Snowshoeing

At my school, we are currently having a snowshoeing course. I does not like it very much because I came from the South. I am going to rant about it in this essay just to get all the pent up frustration out.

First off we are expected to wear heavy winter clothes. Sadly, outside it is currently too warm to be wearing jackets, but is too cold to be without them. The P.E. teachers say that if we don’t wear the jackets we go out and freeze in school clothes. Even if its snowing out.

Secondly. The snowshoes don’t work very well. We sink just about as much as boots do and it seems that the only thing that keeps the snowshoes from completely sinking is a combination of spread out weight distribution and packing of the snow and anyway, the extra 2 pounds strapped to one’s feet is debilitating and it makes walking harder. They have about 70 pairs of snowshoes each costing them around 88 dollars. That’s a crazy 6160 dollars. Our water fountain in the gym isn’t working and the school looks like a literal jail. With 6k one can at least get the water fountains online and make some renovations to the building instead of wasting all of it on ridiculous snowshoes that people hate and don’t work as well as the older types do.
