Add “Snowshoe” to the list of exercise choices

Add as a tap choice to the exercises choice current list.
This is needed because:
The energy and pace used is so different than hiking or walking. It would be great to keep them separate. It’s also becoming a very popular winter exercise.
I'd use this: Daily

Yes please!  I've had to check the start and stop time myself, then estimate the calories.  This seems such a waste given that the fitbit tracks my heart rate.  I may as well not wear it.  It's the winter--I'm snowshoeing more than any other exercise.

Snow shoveling, Snowshoeing and cross country skiing is a MUST for anyone living in a northern commuity.  Canadians snowshoe & ski more than 4 months each year.  I am very surprised that a company like Fitbit doesn't already have this activity available.  I see that i can change a auto detect activity when I walk or shovel the driveway, but it isn't providing an accurate calorie burn calculation.  Pleaee simply add this activity to the program.

Winter sports are very important when you live in the Northern US and deserve a tracking option.  Many runners and outdoor athletes turn to snowshoeing and CC Skiing when the weather gets cold.  This can be up to 5 months of the year in some parts of the US and Canada.
