Snowshoe

I'd recommend stomping into your local mountain thrift store with your ski boots on and seeing what they have. Otherwise MSR Denalis. I'm saving for AT bindings and skins.

first off, snowshoes blow for backcountry skiing, get an AT setup

second, LEARN ABOUT AVALANCHES BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING IN THE BACKCOUNTRY, it is extremely dangerous

first of all, thanks.. second, im taking an avalanche class next semester.. ive got it covered, thanks for saving my life

also are you saying that I should get completely seperate touring bindings or just get trekkers? I really dont want to get a completely seperate binding so if trekkers would work for what im looking for thatd probably be what I would go for, dont really wanna remount my skis with new bindings right after i payed 300 for them. Just looking for the best option to do a lil hiking at brighton, just to get some better lines

thats good, i hate to see people getting in over their heads.

for what it sounds like you're going to be doing trekkers might be nice, but sooner or later you're going to want AT bindings
either way you need skins, check out black diamond, g3, or BCA

yeah i know i need skins, but how do trekkers handle steeper terrain? im goin with my snowboard buddies and they will be in snowshoes and i dont wanna get left behind haha
