Do you love the ease and simplicity of climbing up a ridge on snowshoes but envy those skiers that make the trip back down in 20 minutes. Yeah, it takes you just as long to go down as it did to go up! If so, the Shoeboard may be for you.

Their literature claims: “Better than a snowshoe, good as a ski!”

The Shoeboard is a short, plastic ski with a twist. Wings fold out on either side of the Shoeboard to increase surface area and flotation. Attach the rear crampon and you have an instant pivoting snowshoe with both front and rear crampons. When you’re done snowshoeing, fold in the wings and off you go down the mountain.
