Information

Description

At just over 3 lbs. per pair, the 33" long Tundra weighs less than the 22" models of many other snowshoes!  

 

The Tundra is our super-floater for men and women (typically men) carrying loads up to 275lbs in the deepest snows.  While these are big snowshoes, they are designed to provide a more natural stride with a width of only 9 1/2".

 

The Tundra is our premium ultralight powder snowshoe with the lightest 7075 series frame possible, a lighter yet equally strong grade of COOLTHANE® decking, color options including Rescue Orange, and 42 more compact ridged deck clips for even more weight savings.

 

The average snowshoer takes more than 3,200 strides per mile.  At a typical weight savings of more than 10 oz. per shoe, that means you're saving more than 2,000 lbs. of weight lift per mile compared to the typical comparable snowshoe.

FAQs

What's the difference between the Quicksilver 25 and 30, and the Elite or Backcountry snowshoe models?

The Quicksilver's aluminum frame is slightly heavier and not quite as durable as the Elite or Backcountry snowshoes (6000 series vs. 7075-T6 alloy). The only color option for the Quicksilver line is silver and tan. 

I'm a woman, can I get the Tundra?

Absolutely! If you are a woman trekking through very deep snow or with very heavy loads, the Tundra will be a great snowshoe for you. However, you may want to consider the Backcountry if you are going to be less than 225 lbs. with gear. We used to carry a Women's Backcountry that was identical except for different colors, but ended up consolidating them into one unisex snowshoe.

Glide vs. Summit Traction System

Choose the featherweight Glide system for flat to rolling terrain or the Summit system for added traction and an integrated heel lift for steep ascents.
