Snowshoeing Tips, Articles and Advice
If you can walk, I know you can Snowshoe!
The Silent Glide Canoe and Kayak Shop LLC offers four lines of snowshoes. Each are top quality and unique. Redfeather, Iversons, and Northern Lites are made in America: Redfeather in La Crosse, Wisconsin; Iversons in Shingleton, Michigan; and Northern Lites in Medford, WI. Faber are made by our North American neighbor in Quebec. There are often discounts available so please check with me if you are interested in a model that isn't already on sale. Northern Lites only go on sale during the end of season clearance if any are left in inventory.
Northern Lites are the lightest line of highly durable snowshoes made. In many cases they weigh about 1/2 as much as comparable size snowshoes from other companies. They are very sophisticated, have easy to use bindings and are tough but not fancy. You will love them. I've been asked to carry them many times so here they are. Northern Lites snowshoes continue to be made in Medford, Wisconsin by fellow Americans since 1992.
Redfeather Snowshoes are innovative, top quality and come with a lifetime warranty. They represent the finest example of the modern, aluminum frame designs. There is a wide selection of models in all price ranges for everyone from children to professional winter guides and from casual walkers to dedicated racers. In my opinion Redfeather represents a great value in the snowshoe market. An additional attraction is that the parent company, ORC, is a nonprofit corporation that hires handicapped people for many of the positions. They are located in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Iversons Snowshoes are the traditional white ash wood frame with lacing models. These continue to be popular in current times because they are so functional, very quiet underfoot and a work of art to admire. They are still made in the original way by craftsmen in Upper Peninsula, Michigan. These also have innovations: New, vastly improved bindings with crampons are available in addition to the original style of leather bindings, a special finish that sheds snow easier is standard and highly durable, ultra-light Kevlar/neoprene lacing in a pleasing tan color is also available. The Kevlar lacing results in a 30% weight saving over rawhide. You can still get rawhide lacing as well. These folks stand behind their products.
Faber Snowshoes are the oldest (135 years) and largest Snowshoe Manufacturer in Canada and perhaps the world. Faber uses highly innovative designs and materials that result in very durable, functional, attractive and value packed snowshoes. They offer traditional wood and rawhide lacing models, high tech aluminum frame models and hybrid wood and polymer models. The addition of this company gives the Silent Glide Canoe and Kayak Shop the greatest depth of real choice in snowshoes you are likely to find anywhere.
You are welcome to stop by and try out any of these snowshoes. Just call ahead (715-748-0148) so I can be sure to schedule time, just for you.
Thanks

I encourage you to try the snowshoes right here before you buy them, but if after you have been using them for a while, something just isn't right, you can bring them in to exchange for a different pair of any brand I carry. For a full value trade-in the snowshoes must look like new so please take extra care the first times out on them.
Here are some terms may be useful when deciding on the snowshoe that is right for you:
Live Hinge - means the binding will lift the heal of the snowshoe when you pick up your foot; this adds maneuverability and a little speed.
Full Pivot Hinge - means the binding will allow the heal of the snowshoe to drag and the toe to come up to clear the snow print easier.
Full Pivot with a Stop - means the binding allows the shoe to pivot most of the way but stops it at 70 degrees so you can lift the heal when necessary. It also reduces shin banging by the snowshoe toe in steep terrain.
