As far as snow shoes go it depends on the purpose. If it's a trip for just snow shoeing I use a pair of (atlus brand I think) massive snow shoes. They're huge, but keep me and a pack on top of the pow. If it's hiking/camping/scouting with a chance of snow, I use a smaller pair that packs better when not in use. And much lighter!
