Snow Shoes
I was going to order some snow shoes last spring and then summer happened. It’s time for me to start thinking about it again. I know Dave had a nice set and they are currently first on my list but I lost the link.
Any other suggestions?

Re: Snow Shoes
What 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.

Re: Snow Shoes
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?

Re: Snow Shoes
Gene,
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.

Re: Snow Shoes
I kept forgetting to order them and finally remembered today. They should be completed in about two weeks.daytime dave wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 10:59 amGene,

Re: Snow Shoes
I see on my bank account the snowshoes have been billed. I’m hoping they ship tomorrow so I’ll get them in about a week. Let it snow!

Re: Snow Shoes
I'm hoping to hear how you like them. By the way, I mentioned the forum to him when we spoke on the phone, but I don't know if he looked or joined.
