Esker Boreal Snowshoes
Made for deep snow and tight terrain.
The Esker Boreal Snowshoe is a traditional wooden snowshoe shape designed for deep snow and dense terrain.
Short and wide, it provides maximum flotation while remaining responsive underfoot. With no long tail, it turns easily and moves quietly through bush, making it ideal for hunting, off-trail travel, and navigating tight forest.
Built with a natural wood frame and rawhide webbing, it offers strong flotation and reliable performance in cold conditions. Durable and repairable, these traditional snowshoes are made to be used season after season.
When paired with leather bindings, they deliver a secure, comfortable fit for time spent off the trail.
