I think these snowshoes have an application for milder hikes and mild conditions or more constant up and down when I dont want to fuss with the heel lifters. Alas all the places I found online were either closed on Mondays or didnt open until 10.

As an adaptive snowboarder I very-much appreciate adaptive programs at resorts.

Alas all the places I found online were either closed on Mondays or didnt open until 10.
I though I would have to drive all the way to Truckee or Tahoe and then backtrack before I could hit the trail. This is a higher end version of the MSR EVO snowshoes reviewed above. Instead of a uni-body aluminum frame like the EVOs it has a polymer decking that make these snowshoes lighter while not sacrificing quality and stability.
The feature I love about MSR snowshoes. Our only gripe with this snowshoe is with the straps that control the rubber webbing securing the forefoot. The straps tail seems unnecessarily short making it challenging to adjust or remove especially with gloves on.
That concern notwithstanding this is our favorite model though expensive. I couldnt decide which snowshoes to buy so I bought these and another highly rated aluminum frame pair. The buckle quality on the Mammoths are is far superior and very similar to snowboard bindings.
The snowshoes will stick to very steep hills with the teeth under the toes and around the edges. Built on a quality steel frame with nylon decking this snowshoe feels light is nimble underfoot and can take on anything from packed trails to powder and challenging mountain terrain. Its traction system is best-in-class with a sturdy crampon and rails running both length- and width-wise that confidently bite into anything from ice to soft snow.

I think these snowshoes have an application for milder hikes and mild conditions or more constant up and down when I dont want to fuss with the heel lifters. Theyre also quite light and so might be good as a just in case snowshoe when conditions appear to be packed down hard but might be softer higher up.
