SNOWSKATE: HOW TO SKATEBOARD ON THE SNOW

Snowskating is a new winter sport that is growing in popularity. Somewhere you may have seen someone get off snowy slopes with a board other than a snowboard and you have wondered: “what is that guy doing?” He is using a snowskate, he is none other than the snow skateboard, but obviously he does not have wheels attached to the deck.

There are mainly two types of snowskate, for two quite different disciplines.

A single deck snowskateis made for street sessions or small hills and to perform the typical street skateboard tricks, therefore suitable for freestyle use. While thebi-deck snowskate is made to be used in ski areas and on ski slopes. Here the single skateboard deck is attached at the bottom to a small mono-ski, then equipped with edges that help turn and have directionality.

I guess you are asking yourself: “are there no bindings?” Quite right! The snowskate is done with your feet completely free… does it seem complicated to you? It is, but it’s really just a matter of exercise. Obviously those who are already skaters can make it look really easy but this is not a sport that can be mastered in a weekend on the snow. It takes dedication and many days of practice. You won’t even find instructors, it is a discipline that must be controlled through trial and error, starting with the basics and then progressing. You have to be totally focused and with good balance, in short, it’s like skating… it’s a continuous flow and you have the freedom not to be attached to the board like snowboarding. If you have interest and patience in trying out a snowksate, start watching some online videos. There are so many, you can take inspiration and decide what you want to do with a snowskate.
