Northern Toboggan Co
Alaskan Snowshoe Kit
Specs & Features
Description
NTCo's wooden snowshoe line is one of our newest. Processed, steam-bent, laced and dipped all by hand. Our beautiful designs are the product of a thousand years research and development.
Similar to a large Ojibwa snowshoe in general shape and function, the Alaskan's upturned toe, large surface area, and sleek profile excel at covering open trail distances through any depth of snow. These are excellent snowshoe for large people, for carrying large packs, and for those who prefer the classic frontiersman style.
Materials: White Ash Frames, Nylon Lacing, Instructional packet
Snowshoe Sizing
Roughly match snowshoe size to your body weight plus the weight of any pack.
As a rule, smaller shoes are easier to walk on. If close to a size break, choose larger shoes if you have long legs, wear a hefty pack, regularly break trail or have light, fluffy snow.
Choose smaller shoes for shorter legs, denser snow or packed trails (even if new snow covers the old tracks).

Made from White Ash
When creating high-end snowshoes, you need to choose a material that can offer excellent strength properties but also has great flexibility. Ash wood is a fine choice for snowshoes, providing strength, shock absorption, and flexibility.
Includes Frames, Lacing & Instructions
This kit comes complete with all the materials you need to create your own snowshoes, including directions on how to lace & finish them.
Snowshoe Style
Similar in general shape and function to the Alaskan snowshoe, the Huron's upturned toe and large surface area excel at covering distances over open trail through any depth of snow.
