Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Northern Lites Tundra Ultralight Snowshoes are lightweight, weighing less than many smaller models. Despite their size, they ensure a natural stride. The snowshoes offer superior grip and are a powerhouse for deep powder exploration.

Northern Lites says: 

At just over 3 lbs. per pair, the 33″ long Tundra weighs less than the 22″ models of many other snowshoes!

The Tundra is our super-floater carrying loads up to 275lbs in the deepest snows. While these are big snowshoes, they are designed to provide a more natural stride with a width of only 9 1/2″.

The 9.5″ x 33″ Tundra is our premium ultralight powder snowshoe with the lightest 7075 series frame possible, a lighter yet equally strong grade of COOLTHANE® decking, color options including Rescue Orange, and 42 more compact ridged deck clips for even more weight savings.

The Tundra means huge weight savings. The average snowshoer takes more than 3,200 strides per mile. At a typical weight savings of more than 10 oz. per shoe, that means you’re saving more than 2,000 lbs. of weight lift per mile compared to the typical comparable snowshoe.

Our Verdict

The Northern Lites Tundra Ultralight All-Terrain Snowshoes (33″) are fantastic weight-saving snowshoes for deep snow adventures. At just over 800g per pair, these massive 33-inch snowshoes weigh less than many 22-inch models, offering a remarkable weight reduction that reduces fatigue and increases trail efficiency.

Despite their substantial length, the Tundra’s 9.5-inch width ensures a natural stride, while the ultralight aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium frame and COOLTHANE® decking provide outstanding strength and durability. The 19-point Duraluminum cleats with ice guards and a 21-point traction system around the perimeter offer superior grip on diverse terrain. With a load capacity of up to 275 lbs, these snowshoes are a powerhouse for deep powder exploration, yet their featherweight design ensures you can go further with less effort.
