| Why Not participate (snowshoe) - some comments | |
| pure silliness | |
| accessibility of demo "running" snowshoes | |
| another expense | |
| convenience | |
| didn't know where to go | |
| Doesn't snow enough where I live. We only get less than 2 inches at a time. gore-tex runners are good enough for me. | |
| don't feel fast enough | |
| don't have snowshoes | |
| don't know how to get started | |
| don't know, i might | |
| don't really want to | |
| enjoy just snowshoeing and cross country skiing, down hill skiing, can only do so much in a day | |
| hate the winter | |
| haven't had a chance to try | |
| I didn't know of any local events. | |
| I don't have running snowshoes | |
| I don't know anything about it. | |
| I haven't made an opportunity | |
| I never knew of any races until this year. | |
| i really want to, so this winter i am going to try. i haven't yet because i haven't had the equipment. i am looking to purchase this year | |
| I run on trails through winter even when snow is knee deep. This is incredible conditioning and when the spring comes I race really well | |
| I would if I had someone to teach me, take me! | |
| I would rather snowboard! | |
| I x-c ski in the winter - more fun. | |
| I'm still fairly new to the sport, so I'm learning as I go! Plus, there hasn't been much snow around here. :) | |
| ignorance of races | |
| inconsistent conditions | |
| inertia and inconvenience | |
| It feels odd | |
| just a newbie to the sport | |
| just now heard about it | |
| location- not a lot of concentrated areas of snow | |
| need snoeshoes | |
| Never been exposed to the activity | |
| never have gotten 'round to it | |
| Never knew about it until last year | |
| New to Trailrunning this fall | |
| no interest | |
| No Local Races | |
| no money | |
| no snow here, too much hassle to travel for it | |
| No, I don't live in a part of the country that has any snow. I trail run year round. | |
| skis are faster | |
| time availability; place of race | |
| where i run it's mudshoe running. But, I have thought about it. | |
| would love to try it but have not heard of it around here. | |
| X-country ski or run inside instead |
