ALPS (Adult 27 inch, maximum weight 225 lbs) series of snowshoes, produced by ALPS Mountaineering. These snowshoes are designed for mountain terrain, offering features like a longer, V-shaped tail for efficiency on ascents and descents, and a larger surface area for enhanced flotation in varied snow conditions. They are best suited for experienced hikers and winter campers who traverse mountainous landscapes with deep snow.   Yukon 825 (Adult 25 inch, maximum weight 200 lbs) snowshoes, part of the Yukon Charlie's "National Park Series" or "Mountain Profile Series," are durable, traditional-style snowshoes made with an aluminum frame. The 825 designation refers to their size (8 inches by 25 inches) and a recommended load capacity of up to 200 lbs, making them suitable for adults exploring varied winter terrain, from hard-packed trails to less aggressive backcountry use.  Chinook (Child 14-inch, maximum weight 80 lbs) snowshoes for kids,  are designed for young children and feature an aluminum frame, UV-resistant polyethylene decking, and freeze-resistant ratchet bindings for a secure fit. They typically have heel crampons for traction and come with a carry bag, sometimes with backpack straps, to make transport easier. These snowshoes are suitable for packed snow and light trails, helping kids enjoy winter outings.  Atlas (Child 17 inch, maximum weight 80 lbs) mini blue snowshoes are small snowshoes, approximately 17 inches long, designed for children to learn and enjoy snowshoeing. These snowshoes feature a durable plastic construction, a comfortable strap system for easy fitting, and are blue in color. They are specifically designed for younger users to leave fun snowflake prints in the snow and foster a love for winter activities.
