Modern vs Traditional Snowshoes

NOTE: We've replaced this video with a slightly higher quality one here. The new video has better audio and slightly better contrast on the snow, which helps demonstrate the differences better.    • Traditional Vs. Modern Snowshoes   Comparing the flotation, weight, 'float' (the track left behind) and other features of modern mountaineering snowshoes vs. our traditional wooden-framed snowshoes with monoline weave. You can find more information about our guided trips, our snowshoe weaving workshops, or purchasing snowshoes on our site @ www.lureofthenorth.com. (I might have been a bit harsh on the crampons at the end of the video, but for our trips I feel the drawbacks of the crampon far outweigh its occasional benefits.)
