30" Lightning Ascent
MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe
March 19, 2008
These snowshoes work great for what they were designed for. They will climb up steep slopes with ease giving you great protection from any slipping or sliding. However, these shoes are fer less than efficient in extremely deep powder. If there isn't a proper crust on the snow you are walking on they tend to sink. But overall I think that if you choose more carefully where you walk that can be worked around, as these shoes are unmatched for their ability to climb and slip resistance.
