If it doesn't have a lid, just strap two bungee cord horizontally across the pack. You can anchor each end of each cord to the side compressions straps, etc.
I have never run across a pack that couldn't store snowshoes one way or another.

Jan 3, 2013 at 8:04 am #1940502There are many decent choices out there. I recently went through this exercise, but wanted to include the ability to comfortably carry a snowboard.
For this, I wound up going with the Osprey Kode 30. But, while evaluating all this, I believe there are some great options for snowshoe carry.
GoLite Peak (now the Jam 35) – it has straps, and a detachable hipbelt
Dakine Alpine 14 (any DaKine for that matter)
Osprey Stratos 24 (old style)
REI Fall Line
REI Side CountryLMK if you have any questions about these. Good luck.
