Post Hole

Other wise known as:

“That guy must have been heavy, his post hole is all the way to the ground”

A post hole refers to the imprint you make when hiking through deep snow.

Don’t get post holing confused with breaking trail or hiking. It is these series of post holes that makes a trail in deeper snow. Breaking trail refers to being the first person on the trail and there fore you make the post holes. If people are smart they will follow your post holes as closely as possible because it is very hard working walking in snow when you sink down to your waist every time you try and take a step.

When you are breaking trail and are post holing through the snow it is smart to make sure your ankle gator on your snow pants is around the out side of your boots and is very tight. If your pants have little loops on the ankle gator make sure they are connected to your boat’s laces because getting snow in your sock or boots is not so great.
