Description
Balanced for varied terrain
The Esker Muskeg Snowshoe is a traditional wooden snowshoe designed for travel across mixed terrain and changing snow conditions.
With a raised nose and long, tapered tail, it offers a smooth glide while remaining easier to maneuver than longer tracking styles. A strong all-around option for both open terrain and light forest.
Built with a wood frame and rawhide lacing, it provides dependable flotation and natural flex with each step. Designed for cold climates, these traditional snowshoes are durable, repairable, and made for long-term use.
When paired with leather bindings, they offer a secure, time-tested fit for backcountry travel.
