yes, the Denali Ascents are fairly hardcore and look the part. Also, the advantages of the ascents may be 'disadvantages' on less challenging terrain. They are super aggressive about traction- helpful in the mountains... not so much on the gold course. I would stick with MSR, the best company as far as I'm concerned, but I would look at the Lightning. All the Denali models (plastic decks) are noisy unless you're on fluffy stuff. Hope that helps,-----------I agree with the above statement...I would also recommend the Lightnings (not the Ascent model however). The reason for this I believe is because of their light weight and how easy they are to get on and off. They make snowshoeing a lot of fun. You will be the envy of all your friends:). As far as size goes, I would get the 25s.25 inch will be too small though if you are the first to make tracks in new snow.
