The MSR Denali Classic modular snowshoe, now a standard among snow aficionados, offers high-end features at a reasonable price. The lightweight UniDeck plastic molded design gives you reliable flotation in all snow conditions; if the powder's deep just add the detachable tails for more flotation. The real features lurk underfoot in the hardware: full-length steel traction bars, front and rear crampons and a smartly designed braking system work together to give you more purchase on the slippery mediums found in wintertime.  [For this same design but with added traction and climbing bars, check out the MSR Denali Ascent.]
