Well cared for snowshoes donated by an ADK Member.  

“It was the finest snowshoe that’s ever been made,” said David “Bigfoot” Felkley, one of the world’s leading gurus of snowshoeing. As editor of “Snowshoeing: From Novice to Master, 5th Edition,” he’s also the go-to guy for snowshoe knowledge. Five of Felkley’s 20 pairs of snowshoes are Sherpas. “I will never get rid of them. You can’t get that kind of snowshoe anymore,” he said. Felkley’s Sherpas get a lot of use, but never once have they broken.
