My dad really wants snowshoes for christmas and I just have no idea where to start. I have been reading that the Atlas are good, but then there is the 9 series that says it is good for moderate terrain and 10 series for all terrain. He is pretty much a beginner and I don't know what would be best for him, or if Atlas is good for beginners.
