The Mad River Rocket has created a following among snowshoers looking for adventure. Lightweight and easy to carry, the Mad River Rocket combined with snowshoes makes it possible to access backcountry terrain. Dubbed "Rocketshoeing," it's a trend waiting to happen.

You should definitely carry a sled when you snowshoe. Even a Swiss Bob is fun and they are really small and light and easy to carry.
For powder you need something with more flotation than a Swiss Bob. Something like a snow boogie board from Wham-O.

doober, these sleds sound rad! our thing now is much
tamer--snowshoeing! we love it because we can go with
Spirit and we can walk ANYwhere instead of having to
stay on trails. we went up to Tahoe in january and snowshoed
up to the top of a giant ridge where we got an amazing
360 degree view of Truckee and the surrounding ski resorts.
Then we slid down a big hill on our butts. maybe we should
hike up with one of these sleds next time. haaaa! i'd be scared
to go down a hill that huge.
talk to ya soon!!
