The North Cliff snowshoe was created with the idea of offering an affordable and easy to use day hiking snowshoe for mountainous terrain. The patented wing traction decking design makes efficient use of materials, allowing for a snowshoe that is 20 % lighter than standard aluminum models,  as well as making it greener, more affordable and easier to walk with. The North Cliff features our unique three adjustment heel lifter to reduce muscles fatigue during climbs. This snowshoe has all the technical specifications needed for any snowshoer who is looking for a quality, long lasting all around snowshoe.
This series of mountain hiking snowshoes is made with the WTD patented decking and a open rear end aluminum frame with powder coating finish to prevent snow adhesion. The North Cliff is assembled with the Sport pivoting system, incorporating an axis made from high-density carbon steel that is twice as strong as stainless steel and 40% lighter. This suspended pivot will provide great comfort and control on uneven terrain. Positioned up front with full rotation + blocker, this system is ideal for use on and off-trail. This series has low temperature impact copolymer decking  to withstand temperatures down to -40° C (-40° F) and is treated against U.V. rays.
This snowshoe is equipped with the Quattro 3ZE binding, a triple zenith buckle binding with toe box. The aluminum 4.5 inch-long front claw and the 5 inch-long rear crampon provides great traction on rugged terrain. The three adjustment heel lifter integrated in the heel plate eases climbing and is easily deployed either by hand or with the aid of a pole.
If you are in the market for a light and easy to use snowshoe and your winter treks sometimes find you on the mountainside, the North Cliff is the choice for you.

Decking WTD (Patented) The new wing traction decking (WTD), is the most recent innovation from Faber & Co. Made out of low temperature impact copolymer and assemble on a U shape frame, it offers a really light and durable snowshoe. Copolymer is specifically formulated to resist -40° C and treated against U.V. rays. The WTD assemble on the open U aluminum frame creates wings for optimum traction and oriented exit holes to discharge snow from the deck. The torsion of every traction wing offers more structure to the snowshoe for a really durable product.
