Northern Toboggan Co
Traditional Alaskan Wooden Snowshoes
Specs & Features
Description
NTCo's hand-made, traditional wooden snowshoe line is one of our newest. Processed, steam-bent, laced dipped all by hand.
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: Ash, Nylon Lacing
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 to Last a Lifetime
When we are crafting snowshoes we choose materials that offer excellent strength properties and also have great flexibility.
Made from White Ash
Ash wood is a preferred 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.
