I live in Salt Lake City. I'm 5'7" and weigh 160 w/ backpack.

I've narrowed down my choice to two snowshoes:

MSR Lightning Ascent

Louis Garneau Versant

If I went with the Versant I would get 25". I'm not sure if I would get the Ascent in 25" or 30"

Versant's binding seems quicker to attach/detach. Ascent is narrower and seems like a more comfortable stride, but I'm concerned about postholing in Utah's powdery snow.

The prices are comparable.

Thoughts?
