snowfeet*

I had a very pleasant experience with my new Snowfeet* Skiblades 65cm. First time using them, but I've been wanting to buy them for a long time. It all started with their arrival, with a kind gesture on the card, as well as a gift. I went with my family to the "Las Araucarias" Ski center near where we live (Temuco, Chile). In a couple of descents I had them mastered and their short length helped me better control my daughters who were learning to ski. It was an excellent experience, I recommend it!

As a lifetime skier I have always loved the sport but STRUGGLED with the boots! I have giant calves and despite ordering custom boots I still struggled to be comfortable enough to want to continue the sport. I always joked that if I could just do snowboard boots with skis I’d be set. Then I found SnowFeet!!! I have done more skiing this year than any other year in my adult life! Including some time in Utah. What a life changer for me.

As a pro skater the feeling of rollerblades on my feet is the feeling of being at home. I can’t skateboard, surf, snowboard or do anything that goes sideways because of my blading background. So when my friends want to hit the mountains I have to rent some big bulky skis that make me feel like a baby giraffe trying to get around.

And then Snowfeet happened.

Using a snowboard boot gives me great comfortable ankle support and a comfortable and casual way to walk around and the feet themselves are so easy to get through the ski line and onto the lift! But the best part- SNOW PARKS

I can rip all of my inline tricks on these! Boxes and jumps and spins are all fresh and new but familiar enough to learn without bailing too much! Honestly this is my snow sport. I really can’t see myself picking up skis ever again. They are fast and agile, convenient and light, and great for shreddage. 100% recommend!

My one caveat is this- if you are a blader or rollerskater get THESE ONES. they have ribs in the middle that feel more like wheels and less like a ski.

If you are normally a skier get the SKISKATES. They have no ribs and feel more like skis (ie you can “drift” around corners)

I have tried both and these are my favorite. The skiskates are not for me because I am not a skier but if you are- they are FAST! 💨

My daughter and I absolutely love our ski skates. They fit on our snowboarding boots perfectly and was really nice that I didn’t need yet another pair of shoes for winter equipment. We take our snowboards and pack our ski skates in our backpack and can easily interchange through our the day. Plus it’s easy to use ski skates even outside of a ski resort.

Whether it's on the mountains, right at your local neighbourhood hill, or right in your backyard, Snowblades offer a challenging and fun alternative to the classic ski. As a hockey player myself, it really did feel like I was back on the ice!

They feel fantastic to ski in once you get the hang of it too! I'm not the most coordinated guy in the world, but I got the hang of it after only 1 or 2 runs!!! And wow, it's a whole different experience from skiing down the same mountain.

The Snowblades itself also looks great, and is really high quality! Compared to some of the other knockoffs I've seen people sporting, these ones feel great, look great, and have already outlasted some of my friends' fake skiskates that they bought this year!

1000% would recommend to you if you're a skater looking for something a little closer to home, or even if you're a skiier looking for a new adventure down your favourite hill.
Can't wait to take em out again next year!!!

I love that the Mini Skis work with snowboard boots! I had the best time this winter playing on them. I ride them in the Terrain Parks and its just like Rollerskating at a skate park, but better! I highly recommend them.

We purchased 2 sets of skiskates. They are amazing! Very good quality! Easy to control and responsive. Pretty easy to learn. We were taking them off small jumps on the second run. Be ready for everybody wanting to talk to you about them while your on the mountain. Great option when it hasn't snowed in awhile. We love them!

May I present you: snowfeet, a new way of going downhill by combining skiing and skating. You just simply strap your hiking boots in it and way down you go (I must admit, I fell frequently way down too, but hey, normal skiing or snowboarding also takes some practicing). I just really love this concept, as the snowfeet are small and lightweight, so you can walk uphill with your normal snowshoes and when you reach the top, you get the snowfeet out of your backpack and you're ready to go! They will def be packed as standard equipment for our next winter holidays.

I was worried about how snowfeet would work before I hit the slopes in Big Bear, California- Reluctantly, I ordered a pair for my first trip in the snow hoping that the muscle memory from skating would kick in!

**Recommendations to anyone trying these for the first time, don't forget a helmet, and just tell any people on the lifts there are blades at the bottom*

I spent day 1 on the bunny slopes working on stopping. THESE THINGS GO FAST! Especially when you wax them! So don't hesitate or be worried about starting on the bunny slopes. You'll make loads of new friends, get tons of compliments/conversations, and get so many words of encouragement as you go down in your snow feet! Don't be discouraged, cause you'll get the motions by day 2! The more you fall, the better you get (: So keep falling, keep trying, and have so much fun! You will get better eventually!
