The Jan/feb 2011 AMC magazine included an article, "Go The Distance; Conditioning for Long Hikes" by Ms. Densmore. It features, Mike Innes, a 2007 thru-hiker, who recommends snowshoeing during the winter months, since it is the closest sport to hiking. Start with a 10lb 1 hour hike and work up to the weight and mileage you would bear and cover each day during your thru-hike.
So for the next few hours I will be snowshoeing, and if you are wondering where I am for the next four months, I will probably be snowshoeing. Cheerio!
