I've been reading the reviews and noted many snowshoers recommending "tails" with the Denali Classic snowshoe. Can you advise what tails are and what they do. I'm considering buying this Denali showshoe package for my mountaineering boyfriend who is 6'3 and 230 lbs.

based on the weight of your boyfriend i would recommend the tails. the tails add like 8 inches of surface area. which means you stay on top of the snow better-especially in soft powder. The other thing you need to remember is if he weighs 230 normally you need to figure more weight for all his gear-whether it is just more clothes and a small day pack or a larger pack. Since he is already over the recommended weight i think it is a must to get the tailsA larger snowshoe profile is probably better for someone his size. Try a 10x35 & remember to add in pack weight.
