These are my favorite snowshoes. If the menu for the day’s adventure includes some deep snow, maybe icy conditions, and steep terrain, I think you will be pleased with your choice of a MSR Denali or Evo snowshoe. In six years of use I have found nothing to complain about with my Denali Ascent showshoes, having experienced many adventures in them (shown). Rated at 275 lbs I have found they can take a lot more weight too; usually they carry about 300 or so pounds in my multi-day expeditions in the snowy wild. Over snow and ice chunks, falls into snow holes, and brush-induced tangle ups, I have found the MSR plastic decking remarkably durable. No cracks or failures noted. The design for my preferred terrain and conditions is superior: this rigid but flexible plastic decking sheds snow well and allows the attachment of securely-attached STEEL traction teeth around its circumfrence. Where tubular aluminum shoes will go on a “sleigh ride” on icy slopes and have to rely soley upon their center toe cleats for traction, everything about the MSR Denali/Evo series is designed to give grip. Molded in traction bars prevent sliding and MSR Denali/Evo users will be mind-freaked at the traction they can obtain with the design. The 4-strap binding straps are resilent, easy to attach, give good stablilty, and are easily serviced when necessary. The boot opening is large to accommodate fat toes of snow boots. Deep powder characteristics are refined and the shoes require less effort than any …

I picked up a pair of Denali Classics with the 8inch tails. Sweet! They arrived just before the snow storm hit. The Metrodome wasn’t nearly prepared as I was lol!
Cool video, nice looking shoes only thing you are missing is some doggy snow shoes. Nice coat for your dog as well. =)
have you tried the Tubbs shoes? if so why do you like the MSR I am thinking about getting a pair
@tiesandrails good comment,i love the dog ones too,and not many vids like this out there with dogs and hiking,ect
Make a video of your dog and his gear! Guaranteed hits!
Can’t say I’ve ever used snowshoes. That’s why I watched your review. If you say they rock…they do. For me it’s that simple. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate your honest, straight-forward …no BS…approach to your reviews. You DO make YT suck less, one vid at a time. Hope you and yours have a great holidays! =}
exactly right at 7:20 i slipped off or 20 foot cliff while scouting and broke my ankle with a show the leaders gave me it had aluminum tube with a cloth in it and it was stiched up from tearing all the time
will the new MSR EVO snow shoes accept the old MSR Classic floatation tails?
It looks like that it’s difficult to find MSR from Finland and selection is very limited. TSL brand seems to be everywhere. Any oppinion/experience on TSL?
cool review Nutn. I’m not in the market for the snowshoes but I can’t help but love the video anyway. Awesome information. What snow boots you like to wear with these things?
Great video. What outerwear do you use that you can build a fire?
i agree snowshoes are a necessity up here in the UP of Michigan.

Al Gore said the earth is melting…. so we’ll never have a need to purchase snowshoes for those long alpine hikes lol. Of course, the inconvenient truth is Al Gore is a ponzi scheming fraud.
“we dont go goofin around with a fanny pack in the woods” -nutn
lol no you dont
Its funny cause if I pause any of your videos on allie then my dog just stares at the computer
Hey Nutn, EMS has twenty percent off that puts Evo Ascent out-the-door 167.26…Rock on Sir!
I say dont be too afraid of aluminum. Check out Savy4x4. They use t6063 (might be wronge of the aluminum) type aluminum for skid plates and bumpers for off road vehicles. Google is your friend for more info.
What do you think about
SALOMON Men’s Snowtrip TS Waterproof Winter Boots.
