Ultra-light backcountry performance. That’s what you demand, and that’s what the Atlas Helium-BC delivers. With the 23” model coming in under 3lbs per pair the Helium-BC is almost as light as the name implies. The composite Helium deck provides the feather-light foundation and features a unique louver design to shed snow more efficiently. The low-profile, tempered steel BC crampon sits lower in the frame to compliment the PackFlat™ binding and allow for a more natural rotation feel with every step. A backcountry necessity, this binding features urethane Z-straps that hold the foot securely and are field-serviceable with the included BC utility strap. As the name implies, it’s designed to pack down flat when not in use for easy and efficient packing or lashing. Adding to the grip of the BC crampon, anodized aluminum traction rails provide a secure grip when ascending, descending and traversing. When weight and space are limited, but reliability and performance can’t be, you need the Helium-BC.
Helium Deck:
The deck of the all-new Helium series provides the foundation to make these the lightest composite snowshoes available. The unique louver design sheds snow to keep them lightweight, while also creating traction.
PackFlat™ Binding:
The PackFlat™ binding accommodates larger mountaineering & snowboard boots, featuring a single urethane z-strap that holds the foot securely and is fully field-replaceable with the included BC Utility Strap. Designed to pack flat when not in use.

This innovative design is built around the new, single-piece Reactiv-Trac™ Frame with integrated saw-toothed aluminum traction rails providing lightweight stability and traction for backcountry exploration. Adding to the grip provided by the traction rails is the lightweight, low-profile BC Crampon, crafted from tempered steel and bringing the bite needed in the varying snow conditions above tree line. Designed to accommodate larger mountaineering and snowboard boots, the Range-BC’s PackFlat™ Binding features a field-replaceable urethane Z-strap that holds the foot securely. When not in use, the PackFlat Binding allows the snowshoes to nest together for easy and efficient packability. Rounding out the design are 19° heel lifts that reduce calf and tendon strain on those steep ascents.
Our most recent patent, the variable forming of our aluminum ReactiV™ frame changes from a cylindrical to an elliptical shape to increase strength where the frame bears the greatest load for a stiffer, more responsive snowshoe frame.
