Hikers and trail lovers get a bad deal in the winter until they discover snowshoeing. Did you know that there is competetive snowshoeing? We had no idea until we spotted a pair of these MSR Denali Classic Snowshoes and did a bit of research. Why stop hitting the trail just because of a little powder? Why should the snowboarders have all the fun? We won’t go so far as to declare this a “new” winter fad, but let’s just say that the concept of snowshoeing has changed our attitudes towards wintertime hiking trails. People have been doing this for literally thousands of years, but it’s never been so user-friendly or accessible as it is with a pair of sweet MSR snowshoes with mitten-friendly bindings and steel teeth for superior grip and security on icy slopes.
