First, nice article!
All of the shown examples for modern snowshoes are the small ones, a size which is useful for mountaineering, and popular in shallower snow. But they really don't work in deeper looser snow (like 2', 3', 4' deep). We should try to find a picture of larger modern ones, or at least add this perspective to the article.

It's also missing the perspective of snowshoe use which is simply travel in places where the snow is too deep to walk. North8000 ( talk) 12:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
I've left a note on their talk page. Daniel Case ( talk) 17:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Right now, in my corner of the Northeast, the snow is finally settling to almost walkability without snowshoes. Daniel Case ( talk) 17:10, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
As for the discussion that started this, the cranky skier's edit, I think I will solicit some opinion from the Catskill Mountain 3500 Club mailing list, since around this time of year we have a lot of winter-related discussions of this nature. Daniel Case ( talk) 19:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
There are two sentences that seem to unnecessarily narrow the scope of this article:
The Japanese article on Japanese snowshoes ( ja:かんじき) says that かんじき (kanjiki) were used in the Jomon Period, and the bottom picture on that page shows webbed Ainu snowshoes, so the word "traditional" is not being used consistently. In particular, I'm not sure what the intention behind the first sentence is. Can it be clarified? -- BB12 ( talk) 07:06, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
