The MSR Lightning Ascent are probably the best snowshoe for more technical use available in our opinion, giving superb performance on steep and rugged terrain and now feature the advanced Paragon™ binding: designed to wrap securely around your boot without pressure points, the binding’s mesh strap ensures maximum foot control with truly uncompromised comfort. They have heel lifters for steep slopes so that your calf muscles are always on a level platform, and the 20cm wide frame, cut from a single, vertical blade of aerospace-grade aluminium, delivers really grippy traction especially on traverses. Hinged steel crampons add extra security on icy ground, and the weatherproof, non-freezing and glove-friendly bindings are easy to use.

Three lengths are available: 22" or 56cm, 25" or  64cm, and 30" or 76cm - the length you need depends on your weight (see chart below). In addition,  Flotation Tails are available as an add on product and can be useful in deep powder conditions. In 2020 they retailed at £55/pair including VAT. Please email us if you want a pair of these and we'll check availability.

  • Unrivalled Traction: 360° Traction frames deliver edge-to-edge grip, and durable steel DTX crampons provide serious bite in challenging conditions—delivering unmatched traction in technical terrain.
  • Paragon™ Binding: Comfortable, freeze-resistant mesh strap wraps securely around a wide range of boots for ultimate security, while toe stops offer fast, precise foot alignment.
  • All-Condition Adaptability: Add-on Modular Flotation tails allow you the manoeuvrability of a smaller, primary snowshoe with the added, on-demand flotation of optional, 5-inch (13-cm) tails.
  • Uphill Efficiency: Ergo™ Televators reduce fatigue and increase traction on the steeps with an ergonomic design that engages with a flick of a pole grip.
