I have been away from home lately and when I return next week I will 
post some for you if no one else has by then.  I will again be 
attempting to record continous booms within the month as well and 
will also post that if no one else already has.

Of course I have hours of the sounds of crunching snow from walking 
as that has made it to the "junk" I try to avoid and never can 
completely.

Snow shoes have gotten much more popular in recent years and people 
that are into running actually run with them.  This sounds kind of 
neat as well.  I prefer back country skiing over snow shoes as that 
is much faster and less of an effort, imho.  Now if I can save up for 
the rental dog sled teams for a weekend I will be real happy.  That 
is growing very fast as an adventure sport in the northern MN 
wilderness area where no snowmobiles are allowed (BWCA).
