Snowshoe Sizing

Picking Your Snowshoe Size   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 to Last a Lifetime

When creating high-end snowshoes, you need to choose a material that can offer excellent strength properties but also has great flexibility. Tried and true ash trees make for strong snowshoes that withstand the elements and constant use.

Made from 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.

Snowshoe Style

The Ojibwa's "nesting shape" along with it's pointed tail and toe encourage easy and efficient walking.

Century Old Tradition

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.

Lacing & Finishing

  • Our skilled artisans lace our snowshoes are by hand. Each snowshoe is dipped in heavy-duty polyurethane.
  • After multiple coats and plenty of curing time, these snowshoes are ready to be work and enjoyed for years.
