Na-a-a-h.  The snowshoes would only cost about $200-$300.

The other $1700 would be for the snazzy duds to complete the "serious  
snowshoer" look.
(You know, to complement the SUV that you drove to the park where there  
are some nice well-maintained trails for you to flop around on for the  
half hour-or-so before you get back in to your SUV to head over to the  
cafe for lattes and Swiss pastries.)

Real snowshoes (ie ash + rawhide/sinew)  or military surplus snowshoes  
(magnesium alloy + aluminum wire) are typically cheap like borscht if not  
free (most families in Mooseland probably have a couple or few pairs  
laying around waiting to be disposed of at a garage sale or such-like).

Next project assignment for LL-Man: DIY Space Shuttle made from parts  
salvaged from old Ladas and Yugos.
