City slicker needs help.

[viands]

Couple of questions:

1. Do I really need snow shoes to walk on the lake (say Wenworth since it is ice-in now there) or since there is plenty of snow on top of the ice can I just get away with good water-proof hiking boots?

2. When the weather gets back to 30's, is Mount Shaw summitable, again just with good hiking boots?


Thanks folks.
