"Fun while they last..." - Review of MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe

Mine broke recently. I've had a pair of these for about 5 years. I use them for maybe 2 or 3 trips a season. I'm about 185lb and sometimes carry about a 50 lb pack. Recently on a backcountry trip the binding completely broke (the metal part) near one of the swivel points. It appears the metal fatigued and failed that way. I was miles away from the trailhead out in the middle of fresh powder with a heavy pack. All I had with me to repair these was nylon chord. Yeah that was a good time.
