CHAMPS CHOOSE NORTHERN LITES

Snowshoe racing has been our passion since we started making snowshoes in the early 90s. Champions wear Northern Lites, and for good reason. 

Made with the lightest components possible including Duraluminum racing crampons, a Biothane suspension strap that propels racers forward, and Coolthane decking material that works for you, not against you, by reducing friction on snow and icy surfaces. 

Made of only premium American components right here in Denver, USA since 1992.

Elite Race Snowshoe (25")

Overview

Sometimes the trail isn't perfectly groomed and off-trail use is expected. 

The Elite Race combines our racing components with a larger snowshoe that is more versatile in variable snow conditions. If you often find yourself running on fresh snow or sinking in 20 inch snowshoes, consider upgrading to the Elite Race.

Quick Facts

Sometimes the trail isn't perfectly groomed and off-trail use is expected. 

How's It Different Than The Race or Race Wave Above?

The Elite Race is longer, giving your more flotation on non-groomed snow. If you will only run on groomed trails, go with the Race or Race Wave.
