    Yes they do! And they are so light they float on the snow!

    "I've never ever seen, nor heard from anyone other than BG, a snowshoer using one pole. (A lurk?!) "

    I have seen once: I just tried it today. It was really fun going up & down small steep hills! I'll do that again. Going up I managed the steepest hills holding the lurk from middle with both hands and pushing it sideways down to snow, then pulled myself up. Local terrain in link below
