Places to RENT?
I'm going to be taking a trip and need some snowshoes. I'd like to get my hands on some MSR Denali Ascent shoes.
Does anyone know of places that will rent some to me for 2 weeks?
Maybe someone out there wants a quick buck and will rent me theirs?

for the price of a 2 week rental you should just pony up the cash and buy a pair. not like you would never use them again, right?
ebay has over 1200 snowshoes and 35 are msr. have a look there and i bet you find something you like. just don't overbid.
i have a couple pairs of atlas snowshoes that i have used on denali and i really like them. easy on and off and they work with my big double boots.But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

I too have a set of Atlas series 7, but they aren't designed for steeper terrain. Besides they are a bit too heavy for the treck I'm hoping to do.
I use my shoes less than once or twice a year.A good mountaineer dies in his bed.

Don't rent! Just go to Recreation Outlet and buy a pair. They are like 80 bucks. If you do decide to rent though, I used to rent at Out-n-Back all the time and they were accommodating.

I know most of the universities have rental programs for very inexpensive prices, Weber state, Utah etc. Try them out. I did just get back from Recreational outlet and they do have inexpensive non MSR shoes for 80 bucks, I dont care much for the MSR and prefer to have a little rebound on my snowshoes..
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

There are quite a few deals on KSL, and you can't really go wrong with snowshoes, buy a cheap pair use them the 6 or so times you will use them and if you like it buy a new pair.

No, I meant $80. I bought snowshoes at Recreation Outlet for 80 dollars and they have been great!

Thanks to all for the checking around for me. If you see or hear of any good deals, pass them my way.
I'm going to call REI in the Morning and see what they have.
