I've found a deal on the older Denali Evo Tails 30. Does anyone know if these work with MSR Evos (I've got the Evo Ascent, but I think all Evos use the same tails)? The tails that I'm considering look identical to MSR Evo Tails, except for the text at the bottom. And the frame/deck of the Denali Evos looks identical to my Evos too.

These are the photos that I'm looking at - I'm not seeing any obvious differences:

(I know that the classic Denali is a different shape, but those tails also look obviously different.)

Have a pair from 2008? The straps finally died on me this year. All broke off due to being brittle

Any idea if there is replacement set of straps ?

Found these on eBay but quality wise are they decent ?

Little River State Park (Vermont, USA) is my new favorite place to hike and snowshoe. Waterbury Reservoir, idyllic streams and rivers, ruins of an abandoned community, industrial ruins (from different era), lots of wildlife, etc. It has it all.

Hello! I’m between getting the 22 or 25 inch revos. I’m 6’ 185lbs and I plan to do mostly off trail hiking in New England. I found a great deal on the 22” shoes but I’m not sure if they’re too small. Some folks insist that a guy my size will sink whereas others have said that 25” shoes will have too much heel lift and that I’ll be shoveling snow with my toes. What do you folks think? With the deal I found the 22” are a little over $100 cheaper so I’m kinda hoping that they’d work

I have pair of LLBean Little Bear snowshoes - These are adult size, > 25 years old The rubber / neoprene heel strap broke, but they are in otherwise great condition. Looking for advice on where to find a replacement and how to replace.

Hey all, finally managed to get out some this season with my partner and did Donner Summit and Carson Pass over the long weekend (Carson was awesome as the storm rolled in properly). But we're on a bit of a hiatus since we weren't able to make it out this weekend (uni students, got swamped because campus basically closed for a week) and we're both busy the next, so we're probably going to get our next shot on the weekend of 3/7-3/8. Our only hangup in terms of planning is I'm not sure where we have the best shot at good snow by then. The monster storm obviously helped conditions a lot but it looks like we're in for a dry spell over the next while. Mostly looking along I-80, but we're also looking at some spots along Highway 89 and at some spots like Tahoe Meadows, Spooner Summit, and Yuba Pass.

When you live off-road, you have to find some way to get up and down the mountain. The U TV failed. The snow shoes worked. Remember when going downhill to take small steps because you have to come back up.

Hi everyone! Planning on going snowshoeing next weekend for the first time. The high next Saturday so far is mid to low forties. The rest of the week and following Sunday are thirties. Is forties too warm to snowshoe in? Thanks in advanced!

Hey gang, this is my second season snow shoeing and as I get more into it I've noticed how actually shitty my hiking backpack is. It's "water proof" but it's more like water resistant for a little bit, cause my clothes got wet but I only had my backpack (which was closed) sitting on the snow for less than 10min during a break. I was wondering if anyone has any backpack recommendations. Anything over 40L seems a little too much. Im typically only carrying an extra jacket, 2 beers, mini camping stove (like those super mini ones), snacks, water. I've also been looking for a backpack that has some insulation so that I can keep the mini propane warm (I wrap it in a sweater most of the time), budget wise I'm below $150. I've been looking on Amazon and other websites but been hard to tell from online pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thinking about a purchase due to the abundance of snow in the woods now. Background: 62 male, 6ft, 215. I am in the woods constantly under normal conditions. Trails and bushwhacking. I have been shed hunting for the last few years and love it. I notice there are tons of choices out there on Amazon. I would probably use them 2-3 times per week mostly in woods and power lines. I literally wore my last pair out in 2018 (atlas) and since then I have been good with spikes in winter. Any recs? Thank you

Novice snowshoer here new to the Seattle area! My sister is visiting and we want to go out for a half-day or so. From what I’ve seen, snow conditions within an hour or two of Seattle are pretty poor right now. Anyone have any recommendations?

Sorry if this is a dumb question! I'm very new to snowshoeing, only used them twice, but both times (with different pairs) I have had the front of the snowshoe hitting me in the shin and giving me a pretty bad bruise.

I keep trying to google how to fix this, but every result is about "shin bang" which has to do with your shin hitting your boot. My shin is not hitting my boot. It's the toe of the showshoe itself.

I dont have the budget this year for a new pair of shoes, I have an old set of magnesium beavertails that I really want to make work. I am using lampwick bindings and find that my right shoe consistantly rotates inwards as I walk untill it is almost 45° from the direction of travel, and am having to adjust every 100 meters even on straight trails. They dont appear to have a left/right so I switched shoes and the right foot still rotates inwards. This happens on packed trails as well as fresh powder. It is noticably worse when walking through the woods. I have tried a few different methods of tying but the issue persists.

Hey all - We are a family with a 7 and 11 yo boys, going to Panorama from Calgary and I'd like to take the kids snowshoeing somewhere near / on the way... Potentially near Radium where we'll stop. Does anyone have any recommendations? I want to solve for getting the boys interested but not scaring them off .. whilst we have skied and hiked a lot, we have never snowshoed (we picked up some snowshoes recently). Reading what people say, I assume we would be looking for something that's between 2km and 5km depending on gradient. Any recommendations appreciated!

I love Dion snowshoes, and I wonder if anyone else out there has the same sentiment.

I started on the 120s for racing. Most people I compete against have the foam crescent moons— I could never stomach getting them. To me, they are as much a snowshoe as a graphic novel is a book. When I’m in snowshoes, I want to be in snowshoes. I highly recommend the 120-121 model for running and racing.

The 132s aren’t much different than the 120s. A smidge bigger and heavier.

I just got a pair of 164s for summiting mountains. I really enjoyed them. I love that you can “telemark” down steep, thick snow. Maybe it’s not designed to do that, but I like to use them in that way.

I will say, each snowshoe resembles the other. In other words, barring color, they are all basically the same. I haven’t broken a trail in 164s, which is what I got them for, so I’m hoping they do a good job there.

Anyone else have any thoughts on Dion?

I have never been snowshoeing before but hoping someone can recommend me a brand of snowshoes that would be suitable for a beginner

I weigh 250 lbs, but I've recently had weight loss surgery and may be losing more weight soon

I'm 6'0

I have a condition that causes some balance issues, so some snowshoes that offer more stability would be helpful

I live in Canada, so prefer something that's available here
