End of season doesn't mean end of use.

All moose babiche 5 foot snowshoes-made May 2012

So, what is so earth shaking that I finally post a new story that makes one -trimble? Could it be that in a bit more than a week a true Master Athabascan Snowshoe Craftsman such as the genuine ability of a George "Butch" Yaska of Huslia could create a pair of these all moose babiche 5 foot beauties??  Now or decades ago or in the near future. These were just finished by his friend, the other active remaining Native snowshoe master in the state of Alaska, my friend
George Albert of Ruby, Alaska.
 They are waiting to grace a home wall-or if you dare- put on your feet next season. Snowshoes finished May 2012 and available for $1,500.
