About Crescent Moon Snowshoes

Crescent Moon, a Boulder,Colorado manufacturer of snowshoes, poles and accessories, creates the "greenest" snowshoes around. Using materials that contain no polyvinyl chloride, Crescent Moon founders Jake Thamm and Tamara Laug, wanted to create a snowshoe that is more environmentally friendly. The company has implemented a comprehensive green program where everything possible gets recycled, including aluminum, stainless steel, cardboard and office materials. They also rely on 100 percent wind-powered energy.

Since 1994, Crescent Moon Snowshoes have been recognized by Popular Mechanics, New York Times, Fitness Magazine, and Rocky Mountain Sports for their lightweight tear drop shaped snowshoes that allow an an easy and natural stride. Crescent Moon’s new Gold Series most recently won the Backpacker Magazine Best Binding award for comfort, stability, and ease of use. There is no showshoe that is easier to get on and off, even with your gloves on! The Gold’s 12’s race binding features also recently won Trail Runner Magazine’s Winter Gear of the Year award. The Gold 9s, Gold 10s, Gold 12s, and Gold 13s are just so easy to put on and adjust.

Recognized for having the best designed snowshoe on the market, Crescent Moon uses a very talented team of innovators who approach snowshoe design from a different perspective. All of the Crescent Moon shoes incorporate "redundant design" features for added security and durability. The unique Crescent Moon harness system is recognized as the best, most comfortable and secure binding on the market. They continually strive to improve all of their products for comfort, ease of use, and reliability but without abandoning the basic designs that make Crescent Moon snowshoes so unique.
