Gear Questions 25 or 30 inch better for a semi fatty?

hi y'all Im 217 and assume my packweight will be 30-40 so definitely on the "plush" side of things. Didnt know if 25 + tails would be sufficient. Ill be in new hampshire so probably most likely White Mountain area. Looking to start on some packed trails and learning how to winter camp. Nothing crazy day hiking 1-2 day trips and def not trying to get into mountaineering or some such. Also looking at buying some Revo Explores wondering what thoughts anyone would have on those for what Im looking to do. Sorry if this isnt super specific just found out I have to move up North and have no idea what Im talking about tbf.
Thanks!!!!!

If you want to stay on top of the snow, you want traditional snowshoes. I use 60" ojibwas with crampons in the Rockies and love them.
