Frequently Asked Questions

What is a snowskate?

A snowskate is a cross between a skateboard and snowboard. It looks a lot like a skateboard but instead of wheels it has a “ski”.  There are different size “skis” for different conditions, riding styles, and personal preferences. The feel of carving on a snowskate is similar to snowboarding but with the freedom to move your feet. Not being attached also gives you the ability to do skateboard tricks like ollies, kickflips, shove its, foot plants, the list is endless!

What type of shoes do you wear?

Anything warm and waterproof! Flat heal and ankle movement is preferred but everyone has a different preference. Winter skate shoes or hiking boots seem to work the best for us.

Where can you ride them?

That might be the best part about a snowskate, you can ride them anywhere! You really don’t need much snow to have fun. With a little snow your backyard or local skate park can be hours of entertainment.

Now if you’re talking lift access that's a bit different. Snowskates, with a safety leash, are accepted at many resorts around the world, and more every year. Some resorts ask you to wear a “foot strap” when riding the lifts.  

Once you get the hang of it you can ride down any run, just like you would skiing or snowboarding.
