Over the summer (a very warm time to be working on a winter sports product) I was contacted by Crescent Moon Snowshoes, a local company in Boulder, Colorado that produces some of the highest quality snowshoes you can find on the market today. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when they asked me to help design a binding system for their running snowshoe Gold Series. Over the course of our design period we worked out the binding fit, feel and functions; testing out prototype models (luckily there was still some snow around in the mountains). Ultimately the design was changed so that it can fit both feet. I also worked on ribs and nubs that protect the feet from “hot spots” caused by rivets or other connective hardware that can rub on the feet causing discomfort. The end result is a very lightweight, comfortable running snowshoe binding perfect for winter treks through the snow. Below is more about Crescent Moon Snowshoes.
Made in Boulder, Colorado

If you visit the website Crescent Moon says the binding is the most important part of a snowshoe. This snowshoe binding was designed to be light weight, comfortable, and fit right or left feet for a running snowshoe. While Crescent Moon is a small business they have resisted the urge to produce snowshoes overseas. Instead, they manufacture high-end product out of Colorado. Materials are environmentally friendly. There are no PVCs or VOCs in their plastic resins and the aluminum is made from 85% recycled material. They are also 100% wind powered.

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the lorem ipsum generators on the internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour.
