Northern Lites Snow Shoes founder Russell Post is such a fanatic for a lightweight construction, he’s drilled holes in his toothbrush to lighten his load while camping. Originally an engineer, the avid snow-shoer and outdoorsman founded Northern Lites with the mission to improve and lighten existing snow shoe design. Over 15 years later, Northern Lites remains a leader in light-weight, high-performance snow shoes, trusted by backcountry enthusiasts and mountaineers for their fine construction and unparalleled lightness. For the experienced, die-hard snow-shoer who thinks nothing of a hike in the Canadian Rockies in January, the Northern Lites Elites provide aggressive crampons and the same ultra-light construction that helped snow-shoe racer Mark Macy win the Iditarod 100-mile Snow Shoe race three times. With a frame made from an advanced aluminum alloy, abrasion-resistant Coolthane decking and bindings and toe and heel crampons with de-icing padding, this “Best Of” is a perfect companion on your next adventure.

From independent research, we selected the Northern Lites Elite as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Snow Shoe selections visit our Snow Shoe Overview.
