Wood and leather for me. I already have a plastic pair and don’t care for them. I used a Gene Prater pair for decades. I met him once on the top of Mt Stuart a long time ago.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 10:26 amWhat kind of snowshoes? Love traditional wooden snow shoes - I have a pair and I've used them - but for serious snowshoeing, modern snowshoes are definitely more effective and much more durable. To be honest, when the conditions are right, I would much rather XC ski than snowshoe, but that's a different sport, entirely.
Thanks Dave, I’m going to order a pair tomorrow.daytime dave wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 10:59 amGene,
Here's a link again.
I can't recommend him highly enough. I got a chance to use them last year with an unexpected snow and they were great.

I really like the snow it’s the -40F I can do without.Ozarkwoodswalker wrote: ↑Fri Oct 28, 2022 4:45 amIm soo happy i live where i dont need snow shoes, sure we get snow, but it usually doesnt last long enough to need snow shoes, and its more likely going to be three or four inches. Sure, i have seen up to two feet, but thats about a once in 40 year event...thank goodness!!!.... for them that like or don't mind snow.... good deal.... but not me...
Its a big wide world out there full of lots of different weather, people adapt and roll on.
Interesting to hear the different situations .
