Look here - I reccomend MSR lighting accent women'shttp://www.backcountry.com/store/group/265/Womens-Snowshoes.htmlAnother option – I’ve only used Atlas Snowshoes and haven’t tried the MSR Lighting accent as mentioned above. I highly recommend Atlas Snowshoes the Spring-Loaded Suspension is phenomenal plus I like the V-shaped frame great for performance and it gives it that classic touch. The Atlas Trail Walking Series 8 through 10 are a great snowshoe for a variety of terrain, if you’re planning to be in the backcountry hiking I would recommend the Atlas 11 or 12. Also sounds like you have some experience if you’ve been renting, in that case I would recommend checking out the Atlas 10 Series this is the perfect all duty snowshoes works on any terrain. Best of luck and happy snowshoeing RP
