92xj Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have now decided I am in the market for some snowshoes. I want to get out and hike as much as possible this winter here in Washington. I have been researching and decided that there are tons of choices out there. Seems like the most common sizes are 20, 25, 30 and some 35" options. 20" seems to be for the light weight person, but cant find too much info on the weight range for the others. Right now I am at 235 but plan to be around the 220 mark by next month. I am thinking the 25's are what I should go with but I have no real idea. Never needed any back south where I am from. Pro's and Con's of certain shoes? What should I look for and also look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Haha! You need showshoes!! I know I do!!! There is already 4 feet of fluffy powder 1.5 hours from me and walking in that stuff with my regular boots lasted all of 20 feet which took about an hour. I need to float instead of sinking.

92xj Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 You thought about dieting? LMAO Yeah, I'm down 15 pounds in the last month and have 15 more to go before I reach my target and goal. I want to be between 210 and 220. I have no desire to me "skinny" and look like a chicken. I wanna be "thick" not fat. Either way, your psi per footprint is still to great for dry, fluffy powder. A 10 lbs kid would still sink to his/her waist.
