Going to take up Snowblading! (aka skiboarding, fruitbooting, skiblading)

[Highway Star]

I'm predicting a massive resurgence in the popularity of snowblading by the end of the decade. As I like to stay ahead of the curve, I'll be taking up the sport as soon as I can get my hands on the correct equipment. If anyone has a pair for sale of Line or other performance skiboards in the 95-99cm range with metal bindings, please let me know.

I think you should do tele boarding instead. Way more rad

 

[Rowsdower]

I respect your radness, dude.

I will find some too and race you down Devil's Fiddle. Snowblade off!

I have a couple of pairs of these with the clip on bindings. I use them when I hike up South Pack Monadnock and ski down the auto road after it's been packed. Also use them after Crotched closes for earned turns. They are much lighter to carry up than conventional skis. I don't use them much for lift served as I learned the hard way that if you venture into the untracked woods, they nose dive causing instant face plants.

Watched a couple skiing some pretty big spring bumps on lower Ovation at K a few years ago with them. They handled them really well. They did have ski poles though & the tails were squared not rounded..

I got a pair you could borrow, haven't used them in a few years...

His dad disowned him when he bought a pair of skis under 200cm. They haven't talked since.

I remember that couple. I was there that day. They were not snoblades. They had a longer tip than snoblades and ended abruptly at the back of the binding.

Pretty much the same as the skis makimono posted

Relax, people. If HS buys snow blades like he does skis, his new snow blades will be 195 GS skis. He'll then give clinics on how to snow blade like the best.

Some say it's a lifestyle choice... I think your born with it...

 

[Highway Star]

I'm still looking for a pair of skiboards, have not given up yet. Trust me, it's going to be huge by 2020, you want to start working on your skills now. There will be unity on the mountain!
