With AT and split board setups snow shoes are basically worthless. They are a lot cheaper but that is the only advantage. They are slower, harder to break trail with, make you walk awkwardly. With skis or a split board you just throw skins on and climb away. Add crampons if you need them. Some people like snowshoeing though. So there is that. Personally I like to be able to get to my destination faster and ski out which is much faster.

meselfs posted:Won't work on anything steep. For example, any hill in the pacific NW. Yeah... You just like going slow in snowshoes. It is OK. You can basically climb anything with skis and skins. Heel risers make it even easier but you should use the terrain to your advantage and make the climbing easier. I kind of like all of you who love snowshoes. I haven't used my snowshoes in 5 years. Keep up the defense! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
