Snowshoes
Does your winter adventure lead you off the set trail ? Whether you want to trek in deep snow through the forest, or stroll throught the snow along the city riverbank, snowshoes are the equipment for you.
Rediscover snowshoeing with the modern lightweight, compact designs of snowshoes which combine aluminum frames, synthetic decks, under deck cleating, and integrated binding systems for easy to use, maintenance free shoes from MSR, Faber and Atlas. If you are feeling like a traditionalist, we still carry wood and rawhide snowshoes from Faber. The traditional snowshoes tend to be quieter than the modern designs, and are available in larger footprints – important in our land of deep powdery snow.
Faber is a Canadian manufacturer of both traditional and aluminum frames snowshoes. We will be stocking the Mountain Pro aluminum framed snowshoe, and the Sport traditional snowshoe
Atlas Snowshoe Company is a pioneer in the manufacture of aluminum framed snowshoes. From Atlas we carry the 9 and 10 series for men and the Elektra 9 and Elektra 10 series for women.
MSR entered the snowshoe market with their incredibly tough and versatile Denali snowshoe. The Denali's can be used on their own, or paired with the 8" tails for softer deeper snow conditions. MSR now offers the Lightning Ascent line of snowshows, in both men's and women's models. With a non-tubular aluminum frame, the Lightening Ascent's are amazingly light for their size. The traction frame combined with a heel riser bar makes these snowshoes perfect for steeper terrain.
No reason to leave your kids at home when you snowshoe - since we also carry snowshoes for children and youth.
