Trying to decide between the MSR Lightning and the MSR Lightning Ascent...New to snowshoeing-tried out the MSR's at a recent Expo but can't remember which I tried between them. Would mostly be trails, some hills, some powder but not much back county off trail.Suggestions or Recommendations between the two?

The lightning snowshoe is designed for more mellow terrain, think rolling hills. The Lightning Ascent is designed for steep terrain, think mountain summits. The Crampon is more aggressive, and the climbing bar is higher.From what you have described I would recommend the lightning.
