    It's hard to say how many miles because the weather can be really terrible in this area. I think 10 miles will be the minimum hopefully in just over 24 hours. The amount of time is also up in the air due to weather and amount of snow. I'm not the fastest snowshoer when the snow is very deep. Not to mention that the hikes are very steep.

    I did plan for 2,500 calories on Saturday. I have so much food it makes me wonder how I ever got fat in the first place. But then again I won't be bringing wine.

    Also forgot that it is snowshoeing which probably makes every mile like 2 miles in terms of exercise and calorie requirements. Seems really unlikely you'll overeat in such a situation and give. it is just a 24 hour period even if you did it's not a bug deal....enjoy yourself.
