We continually travel on uneven ground in the woods-not on packed trails. What would you recommend for a snowshoe that can handle a good deal of powder but can also handle rough, uneven terrain. I am 5'6" and 190 lbs. I like the MSR easy binding system.

These snowshoes are excellent for the terrain you described due to their incredible traction and firm binding. The best part though is that they are lightweight! Over a few miles of walking in powder, the thing you will notice the first on any showshoe is it's weight. The combination of traction, firm fitting but comfortable binding, durability, and lightweight make these snowshoes one of the best choices for backcountry use.
