<description>MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;How do the Lightning&#x26;#39;s and MSR shoes in general handle traversing of hills?  I&#x26;#39;ve heard that MSR shoes don&#x26;#39;t pivot laterally, just fore and aft.  If that&#x26;#39;s true are the Atlas&#x26;#39; any better?</description>

<description>MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I have never snowshoed before, but plan on starting this year because i just moved to Montana.  I don&#x26;#39;t really know what snow conditions i will be in but i assume that there will be some deeper powder, which seems to be the only issue with these shoes.  Never been through a winter here so not sure what to expect here, i plan to be mostly in the Beartooth-Absaroka mts and Yellowstone.  From all the reviews ive read, in any conditions other than deep powder, these shoes are unrivaled.  For now, i only want one pair of shoes. Im 6 ft 3 in and 225 lb with out gear.  Are the 30&#x26;#39;s the right shoes for me?</description>

<title>I notice that the crampon on the Lightning Ascents has less teeth</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-Lightning-Ascent-Snowshoe/CAS0286M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_122472#question_122472</link>
<description>MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I notice that the crampon on the Lightning Ascents has less teeth than that on the Denali Evo Ascents - does this translate into less traction whilst climbing? Would be grateful for some feedback to help to decide between these two shoes.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Also - in terms of performance, apart from the weight (and the price) what are the main differences between these two pairs of shoes?</description>

<description>MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Question regarding snow shoes. What would be the best pair of snowshoes for a guy like me. I weigh 220 lbs and am 6&#x26;quot;2 with a size 11 shoe (10 in snowboard boots). Money is not an object but rather buying something that is functional and durable is much more important to me. I would be using them for hiking the sierra&#x26;#39;s (Sherwin Mtns) then descents on my snowboard. Thanks</description>

<description>MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;ve been using a pair of the Denali Evo&#x26;#39;s and they have been working great, however my buddy has some Lightning Ascents with the televator.  I just ordered a pair and noticed that the front teeth under the toe are a lot smaller on the lightning vs the denali.  I think this may make a big difference with traction when climbing steep sections, however, the 360deg traction frame on the lightning ascent is a plus also.  Now I&#x26;#39;m thinking about going with the Denali Evo Ascent.  This would give me the televator, 2 long traction bars on either side, and I would maintain the large front teeth.  Does anyone have any recommendations or personal preference on these features or shoes over the other?</description>
