[Cdt-l] Snowshoes--or Not

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

Hi, Dan!

We routinely snowshoe the high sierra and have since 1982. Among other skills, it is what we teach thru hikers to do. Please take a quick read of http://postholer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=744 where we talk about "Snowshoes thru the High Sierra--or Not."

If you have any further questions, drop us an email or attend one of our free Snow Course skills training weekends this winter, here in South Lake Tahoe. We'd be happy to show you what works and what doesn't and why, then you can decide for yourself if and what you might want to buy for your thru hike.

  I am interested in purchasing a pair of snowshoes and would like to know what others are using for backpacking?  I am currently looking at the Northern Lites (backcountry vs Quicksilver).

  Thanks,

  Dan
