[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1573861, member: 8622"] One of the things I love about snowshoe hiking is that I started when I was 16 or 17, and now at 62 years of age, I still enjoy it. :) Ya, I still have my first pair of snowshoes, purchased used at a surplus store in the 1970's. Wood frame, rawhide lacing, 10x56" - I've refinished them and repaired them quite a few times over the years. ALMOST used them today since we've had so much snow recently. Those big old shoes do provide a lot of flotation. The new little MSR's though, are the best danged snowshoes I've ever used! Light, maneuverable, the bindings are terrific, the traction is amazing... I'm not sorry that I used them today, though more flotation would have been a plus. Great snowshoes! :) I need to get out on my old shoes again this winter. Used 'em last winter, and I really enjoy using those big old things! Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
