MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe
Grippy vertical gainers
By Tubbs
Ranked #401 - Backcountry Snowboarding
October 24, 2009
These are light, they have a heel elevator, they have mini steel crampons = they rock. I have the 30" I am 5'8" 155 lbs. Good float with a day pack on in dry fresh powder. The best thing about these is I barely notice they are there until the mountain gets steep and I flip up the televator and notice my friends are exerting themselves more for the same vertical gain. These really shine on icy hard pack and steep terrain. For flat land I'd get something cheaper.
