Abstract
A snowshoe constructed of a solid piece of rigid material having a cross brace for pivotally supporting a binding for the boot of the wearer. An opening forward of the cross brace permits the toe of the boot to pivot downwardly. The snowshoe is provided with braces of L-shaped construction and openings to reduce weight. Studs may be employed for traction on hardpacked snow and ice. The solid piece making up the platform of the shoe is made from a light weight rigid plastic material such as polypropylene.
