Looks like super flotation models; but imagine one needs to watch his step more carefully without stepping onto oneself.

| I went to a short presentation on the history and evolution of mountain snowshoes last weekend; those look like they come from the 60's or possibly 70's. It was actually a pretty interesting history. |

Looks like a smaller version of what we used in the early 80's in the Lillooet area, when we were sampling and collecting cone specimens for the Ministry of Forests.

Standard 'bears paw' style. there were a lot of them around back when the only alternative was the old 'tennis racket' style. Clumsy, and you'd definitely be stretching out your knees and hips, but both types had a pretty good float. |
