Snowskate: How to Skateboard on Snow

Snowskating is a new winter sport that's growing in popularity. You may have seen someone riding down the snowy slopes on a board other than a snowboard and wondered, "What's that guy doing?" They're using a snowskate, which is basically a skateboard for snow, but obviously doesn't have wheels attached to the deck.

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

A single-deck snowskate is designed for street sessions or small descents and for performing typical street skateboard tricks, making it ideal for freestyle use. A double-deck snowskate, on the other hand, is designed for use in ski resorts and on ski slopes. Here, the single skateboard deck is attached at the bottom to a small monoski, thus equipped with edges that aid carving and directional control.

I'm sure you're wondering, "Aren't there bindings?" Right! Snowskating is done with your feet completely free... does it seem complicated? It is, but it's really just a matter of practice. Of course, those who are already skaters can make it look really easy, but this isn't a sport you can master in a weekend on the snow. It takes dedication and many days of practice. You won't even find instructors; it's a discipline that must be refined through trial and error, starting from the basics and then advancing. You need to be totally focused and have good balance. Basically, it's like skating... it's a continuous flow, and you have the freedom of not being tied to the board like with snowboarding. If you're interested and have the patience to try a snow skateboard, start watching some videos online. There are so many, you'll be able to get inspired and decide what you want to do with snowskating.
