. . . In the beginning of the
aluminum style snowshoe evolution many
manufacturers made high quality, tough, snowshoes, including the once
infamous Sherpa snowshoe.. These snowshoes needed
little maintenance and very few repairs, making them the choice snowshoe for
work and/or serious play.
Unfortunately, as with most things, quality has taken a back seat to
making more money. We don’t buy into that view! We believe, a quality
snowshoe creates a loyal customer. The snowshoe should be known for its
durability & reliability. Cutting corners doesn’t create a quality product;
it just shortens the trip to extinction.
For over 40 years we have been selling snowshoes. We started in the hey
days, when wood was the only way to go and Chestnut was a well-known name in
the industry.
Over the years we have watched the different brands come and go -
materials were tested and either succeeded or failed. We’ve seen technical
advancements become overshadowed by a decline in quality of top brand
manufacturers. Because of this we have decided to take the plunge into
re-inventing the high quality durable
