MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoe

The MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoe is incredibly efficient for snowshoeing in steep terrain thanks to its Televator heel lifter. When the going gets steep, just pull up this heel lifter, and your foot will remain flat even when you're walking straight up a steep incline. Keeping your feet flat also reduces the stress on your calves, so you can travel further. Available tail attachments increase flotation in deep snow. The MSR Denali Evo Ascent snowshoe has a powder-coated steel crampon which sheds the stickiest snow and bites into hardpack with ease.

Bottom Line: Strap on the MSR Denali Evo Ascent snowshoe, and head for the steep hills this winter.

Most durable snowshoe ever!

Whatever you want to do, these shoes can handle it! The deck is bomb-proof, and the straps allow you to get out of the bindings faster than your buddies using other brands. Be careful that you keep the toe straps tight on your descents, so you don't slide forward.

these shoes are perfect. I have better traction than my friend with some tubbs up and down. and the heel elevators are a must have when your going strait up with over 50 pounds of winter camping gear on your back. I get to the top feeling good and everyone else is wiped

it's all about options & flexibility

this is a great shoe. clean, simple, lightweight design. I've shoed on the fluffy stuff, the crunchy stuff, and everything in between. this shoe is easily to position correctly on the foot and has never come close to falling off. the rubber hook & eye straps make mittened hands a non-issue. no more knotty laces! the ascent heel lever is useful on steep inclines, but i haven't found it necessary on moderate hills. i do, however, like the fact that it is there, just in case. would i recommend this feature? absolutely. the added bonus: attachable flotation tails for fresh powder. you just don't get that option on models by other companies. to me, this shoe is all about options and flexibility. it is completely practical and i've yet to be disappointed by it.

Tough Shoes

Recently switched from Altas and I'm extremely happy. With flotation tails you can trek though powder extremely well. these stick to the ground much better, allowing me to ascend and descend much faster and safer. Highly recommended

Ugh, look for the real ones

I tried some of these out and they were a huge disappointment. I'm not saying I expected to feel like I was walking on water, but they really didn't help with my footing at all. I was on snow a couple feet deep and they would punch through the top crust and then sit in the snow awkwardly. These things just kind of twist around in the snow. My parents' have a set of Atlas snowshoes with metal frames. They offer better footing than the MSR ones.

side hillin

The most noticeable advantage of these shoes is on the side hill. The crampon style limits the heel from slipping out. Which is a big problem with Tubbs and other tube style frames. The heel elevators are a must on steep terrain. It makes a steep slope more like stairs than a ski run, enabling you to hike farther into the backcountry. Had mine two seasons and love them!
