C.A. Lund 1941 US Military Snowshoes - 62" - VERY RARE - Northland Bindings"The Snowshoes that Won WWII". OK, not exactly, because despite all the preparation, by the time the 10th Mountain Division arrived on the scene in Italy the war was mostly out of the mountains. But they were prepared! These 62" beasts are taller than some adults. Equipped with Northland bindings, this well preserved example will look great on the wall, or preferably out on the trails. Don't believe me? Well, think of all the icebergs you could be

Base: wood of sorts

here they are

meaning they drink lots of coffee

So they are ready to go

Manufacturer: Korpela - Finland

and a third width (which soon became the standard) of 75mm

This is a lightweight aluminium "kilpa" (racing) model that will fit nicely on your brittle Järvinen racing skis

These bindings hail from around 1960

ergo the red bit would be up

and saved weight

Model: Klondike No 76

The skis are heavier and wider than the top racing skis
