anyone ever snow blade? whats it like?

 

Yes. Its a great on-the-side kind of ski. Don't use them on big mountains with a lot of steepness, its not easy to stop going fast or on ice with them.

They're fun to get out on in a terrain park or to change it up from the usual though...



why?

 

just wondering. i've never snow bladed before and am thinking of trying

 

my friend just bought a pair when the season started and he loves them. you can take them anywhere doesnt have to be a terrain park.

 

i never went skiing or snowboarding before. and like 2 years ago i went snow blading. it was very easy to learn, by the end of the day i was keeping up with all my friends on ski's and snowboards easily. it's a ton of fun. i'd suggest it.

 

how much do new ones usually run? they all seem to be about $200-260. is that expensive or cheap?

 

What are you talking about Willis? I think they are easier to stop on than my other sets of skiis. I think because the Snowblades are stiffer, since they are shorter.

I've used them on double diamond slopes and choppy ice with no problems. ONe thing I like about them is they are very portable. While other people are struggling with their long skiis, I just strap mine together and toss them over my shoulder.

Other thing I like is sitting on a chair lift they do not weigh so much so it's easier on the joints. Heavy skiis tend to make my knees hurt with chair lifts that do not have a place to rest your feet.

 

we are talking about those type of shoes that are flat bottomed like a ski except its just the length of the boot?

 

No. It's a short ski you clip in like a regular ski

 

My buddies tried that last season, I never wanted in cause I didn't want to learn another style, but alot of them picked it up pretty fast. I' sure it helps alot when you've been skiing and boarding for awhile... I guess i'll try it sometime if it's easy :thinking:
