So, having had a 'close encounter of the cold kind' I'm seriously
considering the need for snowshoes. I like winter hiking and am still
planing a JMT in late July. Doc says the frostbite should be all better
by then. What are your thoughts for carrying 4 lbs of snowshoes for the
JMT in late July-early August? Also, I walked out 2 weeks ago on black
MSR shoes, this being my only experience with any snowshoes, I guess
they worked pretty well. I don't know what kind they were other than
MSR. I'm around 250 lbs with gear. I looked at about a zillion kinds
the other day at REI and am more confused now than ever. What are you
thoughts about brands, styles, price etc? Thanks
