Outside’s Alicia Carr reviews the Northern Lites, snowshoe, the lightest pair of snowshoes we’ve seen so far.
Founder Russell Post is such a fanatic for a lightweight construction, he’s drilled holes in his toothbrush to lighten his load while camping. Originally an engineer, the avid snow-shoer and outdoorsman founded Northern Lites with the mission to improve and lighten existing snow shoe design. Over 15 years later, Northern Lites remains a leader in light-weight, high-performance snow shoes, trusted by backcountry enthusiasts and mountaineers for their fine construction and unparalleled lightness. For the experienced, die-hard snow-shoer who thinks nothing of a hike in the Canadian Rockies in January, the Northern Lites Elites provide aggressive crampons and the same ultra-light construction that helped snow-shoe racer Mark Macy win the Iditarod 100-mile Snow Shoe race three times. Retails for $249.00 You can buy this directly from Northern Lights. (This is the snowshoe I use) They are light and work great.
