The Crossblades are innovative wintersport gear that blend the bets qualities of snowshoes and backcountry skis.
Each blade is equipped with a magnetic swivel plate that comes with an integrated climbing skin which is perfect for ascending hills. When it's time to rip down the kill, you simply have to liberate the swivel plate and flip it over the smooth base to get a ski-like descent.
The unique combination of a ski-style base and a tub-style upper enable you to enjoy performance on both hardened snow as well as fresh powder. The base takes care of hard snow while the upper offers increased surface area which is ideal for gliding on powder.
The Crossblades make for a fun and efficient showshoeing and skiing alternative. They could come of great use at ski resorts where they can be used to help tourists experience the joys of winter sports.
