Weight matters. That is Crescent Moon created the Yellowstone 24.5 (previously Gold 12) snowshoe. Weighing only 1.65 pounds a shoe, the Yellowstone 24.5 will help you get away on packed trails, up ski runs, and across race courses. Past winner of the Winter Gear of the Year. The Yellowstone 24.5 has the same tear drop shaped frame made famous by other award winning aluminum models, as well as an even lighter foot forming binding that holds your foot securely from top to bottom and front to back, from start to finish.
Each set of aluminum snowshoes comes with a pair of heel lifts that can be engaged/disengaged with a simple flip of the wrist. An optional feature for your snowshoes that adds 2 inches of platform under your heel to improve comfort, traction and climbing efficiency by reducing the strain on your calf muscles. If you're located in the hills or mountains and you're snowshoeing up long, sustained climbs, bring your lifts. If you're spending most of your time on flatter or rolling terrain, you probably don't need the heel lift.
