Skiboards 

Skiboards are recognized by their wide shape resembling snowboards, and short length. Skiboards take pride in their unconventionally wide shape inspired by snowboards. Using wooden cores, with twin tips, which provide a firm base and great stability, they became quickly popular among both beginners and experts. Skiboards can grant you both great support when feeling unsure due to their wide base but still enough freedom to perform various tricks thanks to their short length.

What are Skiboards good for? 

Are you looking for great stability, an unconventional look or do you want to carve the snow on the edges like with a snowboard? Skiboards might be the thing you are looking for. Coming in the length range from 60 to 140 cm, they offer endless possibilities for both professionals and intermediates desiring to try something new. But let's not leave the beginners behind - if you are looking for something less unwieldy than regular big skis, give them a try - skiboards won't let you down.

Snowblades 

Snowblades are basically regular skis, but short.

Resembling their big ski brother much more than Skiboards, Snowblades are usually narrower than Skiboards and they are made from the same material as long skis. Snowblades however provide all advantages which you are denied with long skis: they are light, easy to maneuver, they don't limit your movement on the snow, and you can carry them everywhere.

Snowblades, basically very short skis, give you the joy of light feet when sliding the snow while preserving all the advantages of regular skis. They are a piece of great equipment for hiking trails or as a second pair of skis to pack along with your regular ones, just because they are so small and easy to carry around. 

Skiskates 

Skiskates are very short skis which combine skiing and skateing.

Skiskates are a completely different story. Combining skiing and skating, these short skis provide new possibilities for how to enjoy the ride. Skiskates work the best on the slopes but you can take them for the ride on the hiking trail, too.

Skiskates are a great extension of possibilities for roller-bladers or ice-skaters looking for an extra area to conquer, or for cross-country skiers tired of long skis. The short skis and specific skating-like movement open new possibilities for all kinds of tricks, twists, and jumps without being held down by heavy and clunky skis.
