[pct-l] Snowshoes
My snowshoes are the MSR Denali Llama 22" which come with optional MSR
Snowshoe Tails 30. they are easy to attach and add 8 inches of floatation.
and for snow camping in deep snow or powdery conditions or when carrying a
heavy pack they are great attachments. In the spring when the snow is
firmer I just use the shorter snowshoe (with out the tails) they also have
side rails on the bottom which are great when having to do a uphill
traverse. there is no slipping. And I use ski poles with them. They are
put out by Mountain Safety Research, Seattle WA 800 877 9677 I bought mine
at REI and they have a super easy in and out (binding ) for your foot.
