I have been using a pair of Salomon snow shoes, the x type, and they are great for my purpose. However, I cannot find them and I need a reserve pair so I am buying the Denali EVO ascent. I need snow shoes to get into and out of my farm's remote pastures. This means life or death to my horses. I need to hay and water EVERY day, and to get there I cross streams, go through gates, and cross drifts 6 ft. high or more. I need non slip, and easy turning because I pull a sled with 80+ pounds of hay behind me. Are these Evo's a good choice? I'm a 63 yr old female, 170 lbs. with back pack.

Though I recently purchased a pair of these I've yet to use them. I broke/wore out my pair of Redfeather Hike tubular snowshoes. I would think that these should outperform your current snowshoes. I have snowshoed with many people who had the originally Denalis and their out performance of my snowshoes led me to purchase the Denali Evo Ascents. Without knowing the snow conditions you face it is hard to recommend whether or not you could use the added flotation of the 6 inch tails or if you should consider the wider Denali Ascent with the 4 or 8 inch tails.
