Snow, make your own tracks or walk a previous path?
So I am walking through a previously laid path on my way to the car yesterday, with a butt ton of books on my back, and I nearly slip on a slick spot.
It got me to thinking: What a great idea for a poll! When walking through snow, do you make your own tracks, or do you follow the paths of others? I typically "like" to make my own path...kicking up snow as I go...but when I'm in uniform I don't want to get my boots and uni covered in snow and wet.

It really depends on the circumstances. What shoes/pants are you wearing? Are you in a hurry, or is this a leisure walk? Is the snow crunchy or soft?

I've had this happen to me about 5 different times. I think in the time between the person submitting the "post" and editing the poll options, the post shows up without the poll. |

The depending factor is certain, but I'd suggest answering with what you do most often.

Usually follow the path because I'm rarely wearing boots.
And I don't want my feet to get cold. |

Generally, the path. Let someone else do all the work!
(That's assuming you're in Vermont, and the snow is 2 feet deep.) |

The only thing I don't like about the path is that if it's too worn it can get slick.

There is no answer. The choice is not a choice. (Or something)...

If you make a choice and no one is there to hear it, is it a choice? (Or something)

You must take the red or blue pill. And stuff.

He who walks in a path gets less snow in his shoes.

depends... if it is iced over snow, then I walk in other footprints, it feels less slick. If its just snow, then I make my own, because the footprints feel slicker. It seems weird, but its true.

Wow, Follow the path before me!, is ahead by 1.
I like to make my own tracks, although if I'm looking out for land mines, I'll take the ones already made. Todd |

Personally, I can't stand walking in someone's path. I want to see my footprints in the snow. The only exception to this rule is when the snow is over a foot or so high (which it rarely was in the part of New Jersey where I grew up.)
