The specs of the latter look good and I think either would be fine for your trip. I'd certainly go for 25" for deep snow. The Trails I have are 25" and I'd consider getting the extension tails for a trip in deep snow. Hope the Pyrenees weather is good.

I've never snowshoed before, and only started looking them up on the internet last night. It was the MSR Lightning Ascent model you tested above that caught my eye. Do you think the 25" Lightning Ascent snowshoes would be a good choice? I am 5'9, weigh 10.5 Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163120994783902652noreply@blogger.com
