if your in mountainous terrain, the Ascents have a decided advantage over other shoes- grip!
they also have "televators" which work well when ascending steep ground
you can get tails for them as well
purchase longer snowshoes than you think may need (or buy another shorter pair for packed snow)- if you get into powder snow or your pack is heavy, the extra flotation is worth just a slightly less nimble shoe
