    Hi there.

    I want to get into some mellow snowshoeing this winter. Just day hiking and such.

    Any suggestions for good boots and snowshoes that have worked for you?

    Thanks!

    Assuming that means non technical terrain, I don't think you can go wrong with Northern Lites Elites or Backcountry snowshoes, depending on your skin out weight plus body weight. For shoes, I've been very happy with my Inov8 Roclite 390 GTX's in combination with a good pair of gaiters. If you are venturing onto technical terrain, you can't go wrong with the MSR Lightning Ascents.

    Use them on 60 deg + slopes … Televator bar is like buttah

    tails are useful for soft snow

    get last years model on clearance if u can find it

    i picked mine up for less than 150$ including tails

    I have msr lightnings, they are pretty sweet, maybe over kill though for what you want.

    How cold is it before you guys wear actual winter boots?
    I went yesterday in 25 and my feet were toasty in my normal boots.

    i just bought a pair of northernlites, they should be here anyday, super excited for them.

    They seem to be the lightest around, i figured for day hikes, around town and in the mountains they should be fine.
