These do NOT accept the Lightning tails. I just received both these shoes and the tails from Backcountry.com and the tails do not work (the only time Backcountry has given me bum advice). The shoes do not have the notches in the frame that the tails need. I called Cascade Designs, and they said that some of last years shoes (the ones on this page) do have the notches though, as they made that design change before the brand new 2011 Lightning Ascent shoes came out.

grand806, The regularly priced MSR lightning ascents are the new 2011 model, and will probably have some minor improvements. However, being a proud owner of this model I doubt you'll ever need more snowshoe. Just make sure they have the correct size for you. I'm sorry I can't help with the accessory tails; I've never needed them. However, color shouldn't be an issue as long as you have the correct model. Happy trails!
