Absolutely! These are an excellent snowshoe for moderate terrain. If you don't already have poles and want some, then this package gives you those, and it's always nice to have something to haul it all around in. I will warn you though: the Atlas binding design "springs back" into position as you finish your step. That means that, unless you're on really packed snow, you're likely to get snow thrown up onto your butt and back. I'm short; I get the odd bit down my neck too. The binding system is excellent technically, but if you don't want a snowy butt or don't have waterproof pants/jacket, I'd think about going with a different brand.
