To be a bit on the technical side; Sled Dogs is the world`s first patented snowskate, and is a comfortable, light boot, with an intergrated unique base/ski with steel edges for a maximum control. The base/ski is fixed to the boot. Snowskates combine the freedom and agressive movements from inline skates and ice skates, with the freedom and challenge of slalom and snowboarding.
Snowskates are easy and fast to learn, and extremely compact. All you need is a pair of snowskates, no skis or poles (or ski lifts for that matter), just some snow. You can skate on pavements, in parking lots, streets, and even down stairs. Not to mention in the garden, down hills, in the woods, and of course on the slopes. What they are trying to say here is; with Sled Dogs snowskates, you can skate anywhere there is snow!
