I have been using MSR snowshoes for about 10 seasons and find them to be the answer for serious backcountry boarding. My original Denali Classic's were retired last season and replaced with the ascents; I love the heel lift! The Yukon Alaska conditions are variable through out the ascent and I find theses shoes to handle all conditions well; steep side hilling on bulletproof wind affected surfaces to waist deep post holing powder. I do over 70,000 vertical each season and find their durability tremendous. I think a ratchet binding system would be the only serious improvement that could be made to this great design.
