Atlas changed the way we walk on snow by introducing Spring-Loaded Suspension (SLS), a technology that allows the snowshoe to move freely with your natural stride. This innovation absorbs impact and allows for deeper crampon penetration, making Atlas the go-to brand for hikers who demand comfort and security. At The Drop, we stock a wide range of Atlas models to ensure you have the right tool for the unique terrain around Grande Prairie and beyond.
The Helium Series: Lightweight Composite Performance
The Helium collection represents the next evolution in composite snowshoe technology. These are incredibly lightweight and flexible, featuring a unique deck design that sheds snow effortlessly. Models like the Helium-MTN and Helium-TRAIL utilize the Wrapp™ binding system for a secure, easy-to-adjust fit, making them perfect for those who want performance without the weight during long winter treks.
Backcountry and All-Mountain Mastery
For those venturing into steeper, more rugged environments, the Range and Apex series are engineered to dominate. Featuring the Reactiv-Trac™ frame, these snowshoes integrate perimeter traction with a flexible deck to conform to uneven surfaces. Paired with the BOA® Fit System in their top-tier bindings, these models provide a precision fit that can be adjusted on the fly, even with heavy winter gloves on.
Women’s Specific Design: The Elektra Collection
Atlas was the first company to recognize that men and women have different gaits and biomechanics. The Elektra collection is specifically engineered with a tapered shape to accommodate a woman’s natural stride, preventing the snowshoes from overlapping. With bindings sized for smaller boots and frames designed for lighter loads, Elektra models provide a more efficient and comfortable experience for female explorers.
