I'm trying to figure out what size snowshoes would work best for me. I found a great deal on some MSR lightning ascents curtesy of the forums – but only the 22" version. The recommended load for those seems to be 100-175 lbs. I weigh around 150 lbs. The shoes will be used primarily for day hikes in the local mountains (baldy, san jacinto, and san gorgornio). So with a pack, I'll be towards the latter end of the recommended load. Will that cause problems for me? I have the option of buying 5" tails for the shoes as well.
