MSR Evo Ascent

The Evo Ascent is built specifically for technical terrain, featuring aggressive traction and a UniBody deck designed to handle steep, icy, or uneven backcountry slopes where standard recreational snowshoes would struggle.

The Televator heel lifts act like a kickstand for your feet, reducing calf strain by keeping your foot level when you are climbing steep inclines. You simply flip them up when the terrain gets vertical and flip them down when the trail flattens out.

Yes, they are designed for deep snow, though their performance in powder depends on your total weight, including your pack. If you plan on carrying heavy gear in very deep, light snow, you might consider adding MSR's compatible flotation tails for extra surface area.

The UniBody deck is constructed from a rugged, injection-molded plastic that is exceptionally durable and resistant to impact, making it a reliable choice for navigating frozen, rocky, or crusty snow conditions.

Absolutely. The Evo Ascent is a staple for mountaineers because of its aggressive traction and ability to handle steep, technical ascents, making it a capable tool for winter approaches and high-altitude exploration.
