I have lived in Colorado for 43 of my 79 years and have never found snow shoes to be necessary. Last winter was the worst in Durango in 25 years. 5 feet of fresh snow at my house in one week. I chased and photographed 5 D&S flanger trains and rode on one. Rode an SP18 charter train. John West and Earl Knoob were here and I did not see snow shoes on either. I have photographed trains in 3 feet of snow without them, even photographed in a blizzard last year. The shoes take time to put on and off and will slow down the photo shooting. To each his own, but I doubt they will be needed.
