Northern Toboggan Co
Ojibwa Snowshoe Kit
Specs & Features
Description
This beautiful design comes down to us from thousands of years of challenge and survival. Of all the shapes and styles we make, the Ojibwa Snowshoe is our favorite. Its "nesting shape" along with it's pointed tail and toe encourage easy and efficient walking. Strongly preferred by Canadian and US winter guides, this design is considered by many to be the best fit for beginners as well as for general day trips and for serious winter trekking.
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.
