Why We Like The Range BC Snowshoe
Our journey is deep into the snowy unknown of our local wilderness, and our mount of choice is the Range BC Snowshoe. The reason is clear—this trusty stallion uses a strong aluminum frame with saw-toothed rails to keep our load low and traction high. Speaking of traction, Atlas tossed in their Helium crampon, the lightest in their lineup, to bite into the ground below and ensure we're never falling to our knees. The Range has a PackFlat binding that's formed to fit our big mountaineering and snowboarding boots. If we're not out there in those bulky boots we can pack the binding flat to trek in our normal winter hiking boots.

I put these to use in a few areas on a summit to San Gorgonio mountain and they were helpful both in icy frozen snow and old packed snow. I haven't used them in any fresh powder yet. The belt system is ok to use with gloves, but isn't perfect. If anything falls off its guide or buckle it can take some extra fiddling to get it back in place, and if you're backpacking in really cold conditions at elevation this is really tiring, so take time to practice in gloves at home, because it'll probably happen once or twice. I can't speak to durability yet, but everything looked fine after using them. Overall not bad, but could improve the strap system. Pretty comfortable, never came off, and worked great up and down slopes.
