The Range-BC is the next evolution in Atlas’s proven record of engineering high-performance backcountry snowshoes for the adventure ready! This innovative design is built around the new, single-piece Reactiv-Trac™ Frame with integrated saw-toothed aluminum traction rails providing lightweight stability and traction for backcountry exploration. Adding to the grip provided by the traction rails is the lightweight, low-profile BC Crampon, crafted from tempered steel and bringing the bite needed in the varying snow conditions above tree line. Designed to accommodate larger mountaineering and snowboard boots, the Range-BC’s PackFlat™ Binding features a field-replaceable urethane Z-strap that holds the foot securely. When not in use, the PackFlat Binding allows the snowshoes to nest together for easy and efficient packability. Rounding out the design are 19° heel lifts that reduce calf and tendon strain on those steep ascents.
Reactiv-Trac™ Frame:
Our most recent patent, the variable forming of our aluminum ReactiV™ frame changes from a cylindrical to an elliptical shape to increase strength where the frame bears the greatest load for a stiffer, more responsive snowshoe frame.
PackFlat™ Binding:
The PackFlat™ binding accommodates larger mountaineering & snowboard boots, featuring a single urethane z-strap that holds the foot securely and is fully field-replaceable with the included BC Utility Strap. Designed to pack flat when not in use.
BC Crampon:
Designed and tested to meet the standards of alpine adventurers, the BC is the lightest crampon in the Helium series. Crafted from tempered steel, this crampon’s tangs provide the bite needed in variable snow conditions. The BC crampon also maintains a low profile to complement the pack-flat binding.
Aluminum Traction Rails:
Lightweight 6061 Al Traction Rails run 2/3 length of snowshoe providing stability and control in all conditions, while still allowing tail to flex for natural gate.
