Latest From Atlas Snowshoes:

Four Atlas Snow-Shoe Company staff members on April 16 completed a technical Trans-Sierra snowshoe trek traveling from Symmes Creek near Independence, Calif., on the Eastern side of the range, to Wolverton Ski Area in Sequoia National Park through John Muir Wilderness on the Western slope. The traverse served as an authentic means for the Atlas team to test its latest snowshoe products and ensure quality of its newest technologies in a real-world environment over multiple days. The "Sierra High Route" is a classic summer backpacking trip and challenging winter backcountry mountaineering and ski tour with five passes above 12,000 feet and one pass above 13,000 feet, including an elevation gain of 12, 500 feet between Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, yet the 45-mile route has rarely if ever been completed on snowshoes.
