Hello

This is my first post and first (and only) blog. I live on a mountain in Wyoming in what would be considered a very rural setting in some parts of the country. In Wyoming it is not. The nearest city has more than 50 thousand residents which is considered a huge population in this state.
 I have diverse interests and I hope to connect with others who share some of them.
Topic for today is a favorite winter mountain activity of mine-   I went snowshoeing with my new Atlas Elektra women's snowshoes. Verdict? I love them for groomed trails. They are light and, because they don't have a serrated frame, they don't "drag" and are really fast. They absolutely will not replace my MSR Lightning Ascents http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/snowshoes/ascent/womens-lightning-ascent/product
for my typical outings which are almost always off trail and rambling over a variety of terrain. But for a fast paced outing on groomed trails I think I will reach for the Elektras from now on! http://atlassnowshoe.com/snowshoe/elektra-9-series
