Hoi... I'd be etremely sceptical to a plastic snowshoe, as all kinds of plastic gets brittle and cracks or snaps when it gets really cold (30-40 below). And the kind made of a tubular frame with a mesh or something inside are virtually useless if the snow id too hard. They don't offer much traction, and can be more effective as sleighs in some conditions. See if you can find something made from alloy or similar, with a really good tread pattern. If you're not going very cold, tread pattern is more important than material, but in general, plastic is a crap material for winter gear. Also check for pivot bindings, that rotate under the ball of your foot. Makes uphill much easier. Andy
