Photo of Carl Langton, son of Bettles Communications Chief, Jim Langton and his wife, Helen. Notice the handmade snow shoes. They are larger than the commercially made snow shoes and the caribou sinew webbing is much finer. These larger snow shoes provide greater flotation in powdered snow and are lightweight.
