Re: Dividend
$2.59 here. Not too surprising - I can't remember the last time I visited REI and actually purchased anything. My current pattern is to stop in, remember that I never find anything, then go hit...

Snowshoe Boots
I'm also on the hunt for a pair of light, yet sturdy snowshoe boots to use with my MSR shoes. I currently use a pair of Inov-8 Roclite GTX mids, sized up to pair with some expedition weight woo...
