Crescent Moon Gold 10 Snowshoe (Backcountry)

The Gold 10 snowshoe is the best backcountry snowshoe for fast and light travel.  This model features two additional sets of steel claws that provide extra grip on steep, long descents.  The hardened stainless steel crampons provide deeper biting action giving you unsurpassed traction. Combined with lighter decking materials and increased surface area, the Crescent Moon Gold 10 has become a real weapon for those weekend assaults on the mountain. It has also been updated for 2010/11 with an XL version of the SPL binding that accommodates a wider range of foot sizes. Features:
