MSR Evo Ascent Snowshoe
Excellent shoes
By Jason Lucero
Ranked #418 - Backcountry Snowboarding
August 19, 2009
I live in Yosemite and face all kinds of wacky California snow conditions. In the winter I also often hike up out of the valley to the rim, about a 3500' ascent. It's not bad, once you get used to it. Anyhoo, I really appreciate these shoes because they are very light, easily maneuverable when you leave the tails off and provide excellent traction on snow and ice. I really appreciate being able to have just the shoes on while I hike on-trial for miles and then, only have to have the tails on for a short time when I go off-trail. Nancy loves 'em too, compare weights on these and leave those tails in the pack!
