TUBBS HOOKED ME UP!!

Posted on May 18, 2024September 23, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

After seeing my post about the limited repair options for my Limited Edition North Drinkware snow shoes, Tubbs sent me a pair of their latest Flex VRT and ALP models!!  Here’s what each features:

2025 Tubbs Flex VRT

“The Flex VRT is our premium composite deck snowshoe designed to deliver high quality performance for backcountry exploration.  The DynamicFit™ 2.0 binding features the BOA® Fit System which evenly distributes tension around your boot, combined with EVA foam for the ultimate comfortable and precise fit.  The Flex Torsion Deck technology allows for a natural stride from heel to toe absorbing impact to reduce the amount of stress on joints.  At the same time the FLEX tail engages the built in tail traction, keeping the snowshoe tracking and underfoot, making descents a breeze.  This deck provides just the right amount of rigidity for side hilling while conforming to the terrain.  Paired with aggressive Traction Rails and the Viper™ 2.0 crampon this snowshoe bites into any snow conditions.  Engaging the ActiveLift™ 19° heel lift this becomes a mountain climbing machine.”

2025 Tubbs Flex ALP

“Uneven and sidehill terrain are no match for the Flex ALP’s Torsion Deck™ technology that allows torsional articulation throughout the body of the snowshoe to enhance traction and preserve your natural gait.  With the micro-serrated Traction Rails, Viper™ 2.0 toe crampon and built in tail traction pins this snowshoe has grip in even the most technical terrain.  Getting in and out of these snowshoes is easy and intuitive thanks to the ActiveFit™ 2.0 binding.  Featuring an easy to grip TPU cinch strap which reduces friction and ice buildup and our EZ Heel Buckle, this binding holds your foot securely while allowing for a quick entry and exit.  Finally, the ActiveLift™ 19° heel lift provides extra support on steeper ascents making the Flex ALP a go-to for backcountry travel.”

Thanks Tubbs Snowshoes 👍 I appreciate your generosity and awesome level of customer service 🫶 Now I can’t wait to get out and use ’em!

My 13th time on this summit, but 1st to enjoy some watermelon at the top 🍉 Thanks to Jocelyn, the "Watermelon Girl", who lugged that all the way up and was gracious enough to share it 😁

Veered right a bit of the South saddle (red line) for a more adventurous route up to Timp... but once we got up on the ridge, we saw we could have done an even more interesting way (yellow line) cutting into that cliff band and zigzagging along the shelves as seen in the 4th picture (taken from South Timp).

Only a few patches of snow remain between Aspen Grove and Emerald Lake.

For those interested in doing Deseret Peak... the snow is still in the couloirs, but only for a little while longer!

The best way to slide down a snowy slope in Spring conditions is like this...

Didn`t get much mountaineering in this Spring, so trying to catch the last bit of something before the snow`s all gone.

Bagged Bierstadt today! Thought I could get Evans too, but took one look at The Sawtooth and went "nope"! I was also by myself... either way, that stretch looked intense even without the snow.
