411 Walk on Snow

It certainly needs some experience to walk on snow without slipping and falling. It's something I used to learn and master by the time I was 5 years old or so. And maybe it's already out of the season, but I'd like to show the mechanics and some tips here;

-The mechanism is simple. When on snow, you definitely should avoid shifting weight back and forth or side to side.
-Be careful to weigh on foot evenly from toe to heel whether you're wearing snow boots or high heel. Place the pressure of your weight steady and evenly.
-Always place your foot truly vertically on the ground.
-Never try to walk on tiptoe.
-When you have to walk on icy ground covered with snow, which is the most  slippery surface of all, you should try deliberately to let your foot slide. Don't think it's walking, it's like ice-skating. The reason why this risky way sometimes (not always, unfortunately) works is that your foot will stop somewhere eventually, where you find (without knowing it) a perfect balance between your shifting weight and ice. 

-And always concentrate your move, pay attention to the path. Sometimes it's a great training to your muscle as well as the ability to control your body balance.
