A Times dispatch from Iowa suggests that snowshoeing is some sort of luxury activity. "While he has yet to shoot anything during this campaign, unlike Mr. Cruz, it is probably also unlikely that Mr. Rubio will be shot on film doing anything really fancy-pants, like windsurfing or snowshoeing, anytime soon," the Times says.
This seems like a sentence that was edited in Manhattan or Washington, rather than somewhere like rural Maine or New Hampshire or Western Massachusetts, where snowshoes aren't "fancy-pants" but rather just a practical way of getting to your traps or maple taps or ice fishing hole or outhouse or wood pile or cabin if you can't afford a snowmobile or if the dirt road hasn't been plowed.
