Specs & Features

Description

Build your own wooden Green Mountain snowshoes with NTCo's Snowshoe Kit.

These Green Mountain (or modified) bear paws are almost oval in shape, rounded at both ends with a slight lift to the toe. While our Ojibwa Snowshoes, are ideal for winter trekking and traveling long distances, these snowshoes are preferred for putzing around camp or everyday use at the cabin. Their rounded tips allow for better turning and maneuverability, making them one of our most versatile snowshoes. These are the ideal companion for outdoor work projects, whether your are surveying a toboggan slope, orchard pruning, watching your trap line, or navigating dense brush. In addition, the soft edges on these snowshoes make them popular as expedition spares, carried on the back of a pack or tied to a sled.

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.

This kit comes complete with all the materials you need to create your own snowshoes, including directions on how to lace & finish them.

Our Traditional Steam Bending

  • We steam bend our snowshoes by hand, in small batches. No chemicals are used in this process.
  • We keep in mind that each piece of wood is unique. Each will bend and flex differently requiring true craftmanship.
  • This steam bending technique has been passed down for generations.
