All are available for review and purchase at nationwide Tubbs partnering retailer and distributor, ORS Snowshoes Direct.

"Tubbs Snowshoes takes top billing year in and year out, and our customers constantly ask for help selecting snowshoes specifically within the Tubbs brand line", explains Catherine Case, ORS Snowshoes Direct Consumer Relations and Sales Director. "We are especially excited to educate our customers about the new product offerings for this season because even though the Xpedition, Journey and Flex ESC are each specifically targeted for different types of snowshoers, all incorporate new comfort features that further enhance the technical and performance aspects of the snow shoes."
