MSR Evo Ascent Snowshoe
Great Climbers / Heavy Woods
By Dave Frenz
Ranked #702 - Backcountry Snowboarding
March 2, 2009
These snowshoes are simply awesome for steep slopes but because of their compact size they also do much better in heavily wooded areas. The areas I frequent require treks though forests that have alot of downed branches and trees. The minimalist design makes it easy to step over and avoid those obstacles.
The heel lifters are easy to snap up or let down, it takes only seconds. They really do make a difference, however, they can be somewhat unsteady if traversing so I only use them on more direct ascents.
I've put a heavy season of use with these and I have no complaints only praise.
