All-New 36 Inch Snowshoes Available from Atlas Snowshoes

Atlas Snow-Shoe Company has developed and released two new 36-inch snowshoe models – the Frontier and Trailbreaker – targeted for carrying heavy loads through waist-deep powder off trails and in the deep woods or high country. The 36 Series snowshoes are similarly constructed to the snowshoes Atlas manufactured for U.S. military operations. They are an excellent gear choice for backcountry trekking, camping or hunting during winter.

The 2005-2006 Atlas Frontier and Trailbreaker are more than a pound lighter than previous Atlas 36 Series snowshoes due to the introduction of a high-end Easton 7075 aluminum frame construction that provides long-term durability without the extra weight. Both models feature the Atlas patented Spring-Loaded Suspension providing the most natural foot movement, maneuverability and stability a snowshoe can offer for navigating challenging terrain or deep snow. The Frontier has a premium, ultra-durable Duratek™ decking and the best traction system Atlas offers: All-Trac™ toe crampon, heel crampon and Traverse Trac™ side traction rail combination. The Trail Breaker features a lightweight aluminum toe crampon and stainless heel cleat system and durable Nytex™ decking material. Suggested retail for the Trail Breaker is $199 and the Frontier $269.
