MSR Denali Classic Snowshoe

 Brand : MSR
Item : CAS0023
The MSR Denali Classic modular snowshoe, now a standard among snow aficionados, offers high-end features at a reasonable price. The lightweight UniDeck plastic molded design gives you reliable flotation in all snow conditions; if the powder's deep just add the detachable tails for more flotation. The real features lurk underfoot in the hardware: full-length steel traction bars, front and rear crampons and a smartly designed braking system work together to give you more purchase on the slippery mediums found in wintertime. [For this same design but with added traction and climbing bars, check out the MSR Denali Ascent.]

MSR Denali Classic Snowshoe



Good shoes, Especially For the price.
I picked up the denali classic snowshoes at a local store, and I can't find a reason to complain, except that when making steep ascents they are very hard on your calves. The "heelavator" is on most other MSR snowshoes, but your also paying 70-140? more. I also bought the 8' float tails because I do most of my snowshoeing in the backcountry around wolf creek, CO, and the snow tends to get rather deep around there.


love em'
The Denali Classic Snowshoe is ideal for hiking or back country touring. Their light weight allows you to pack less and trek longer. Also the side traction bars are a bonus when hiking up tracked out hills.


Good shoe for lazy snowshoeing
Easy to use, well constructed, and effortless for walking on powder as long as terrain is not steep.


Versatile and tough snowshoes
I took my new Denali snowshoes on a three-day wilderness camping trip in New Hampshire's Pemi Wilderness. We hiked up to the 4000+ ft summit of Bondcliff in approximately 18in of fresh powder. The snowshoes had excellent bite, even on steep sections with snow and ice covered rock. Descending was great fun, with big leaps into fresh snow and nice flotation with the tails attached. I'm very rough on my gear and so far the Denali snowshoes are holding up well. I would buy them again.


Snowshoes for big people!
I'm 6'6" and 250lb, and these snowshoes (with 8" flotation tails) work great. Now, I've only used them twice, and on very dense Cleveland-area snow, but have been very impressed with the ease of use and stability they provide. I'll report again after trying them on lighter powder, but for now am very impressed.
