Although I prefer cross-country skiing to snowshoeing, I purchased snowshoes for two reasons:
1. Because I read somewhere that the muscles used in snowshoeing are the same ones used in hill-climbing on the bicycle.
2. Because I could carry them on my back fairly easily if I wanted to cycle out to a place where I could snowshoe!
If you are still struggling with a way to carry the skiis, you might consider changing sports to something more easily transportable, like snowshoeing!!
