SnowshoesInteractive Selection Guide
For everything from slogging up steep avalanche cones on winter alpine approaches to sketchy wind crusts with run-outs you'd rather not consider.
Because variable snow conditions happen on the flats as well as on the steeps, we've incorporated the same essential traction features that you'll find on our most aggressive shoes.
Flotation tails, totes, snow Pickets, and maintenance kits.
More about MSR Snowshoes »
Have you ever white-knuckled it in snowshoes while traversing on a wind crust with less than ideal results? Have you ever gone out for a 'mellow' snowshoe on what should have been gentle terrain to find that you were really "ice"-shoeing…and hating it? If so, then you understand our inspiration to design a better mousetrap. In 1995 we did just that with the introduction of the Denali. With their totally outside-the-box design and the best traction ever, we changed the expectation of snowshoers forever. The Lightning Series takes that reliability and performance a step further with our 360-degree Total Traction™ Frame, feather-light weight and a host of other features that make them, quite simply, the go-to snowshoe to anyone who demands the best.
