MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe - Women's
Love 'em!

Ranked #115 - Snowshoes

This is my first pair of "modern" snowshoes. Grew up using the old fashioned Eskimo Tennis Rackets. Very lightweight (I'm short). Nice and narrow. Doesn't feel like you even have snowshoes on. Great for short girls like me. Tremendous grip and climb. The only (minor) downfall I find is when hiking through 4-foot-deep, crystaly snow I sunk up to my knee a couple times, but for the most part was able to stay on top. Now, if I can just get my puppy to quit trying to hitch a ride on the back of them.
