Snowfeet: The Shortest Ski Ever

Revolutionizing Winter Sports with Miniski Skates

Two enthusiastic athletes have created Snowfeet, a new winter sport that combines skiing and skating. Designed by Zbynek Suba, Snowfeet are the shortest skis ever, slightly longer than winter boots. This innovative design allows users to access narrow forest paths and enjoy a more relaxed and fun ride compared to traditional skiing. With its small and lightweight construction, Snowfeet can fit into any bag, making it convenient to take anywhere. Let's explore the unique features and advantages of Snowfeet.

Snowfeet offer a range of advantages for winter sports enthusiasts. Unlike traditional skis, Snowfeet allow users to access places like narrow forest paths that were previously inaccessible. Its compact size and light weight make it easy to carry and fit into a bag. Additionally, Snowfeet do not require any special boots; users can wear their regular winter boots, making it convenient for everyone.

The design of Snowfeet is made from high durable plastic material with 30 percent glass fibers, ensuring durability and longevity. The screw, nut, and washer are made from black zinc chromate plating, providing strength and stability. Snowfeet measure 390mm x 130mm x 40mm, making them compact and easy to handle.

Designed with the natural position of the human foot in motion in mind, Snowfeet prioritize safety and control. The front radius is inspired by classic winter skis, preventing them from getting buried in snow. Steel edges at the bottom enhance ski control and enable easy skid stops. Guide rails on the base ensure better driving direction. The side appearance and shape of Snowfeet draw inspiration from classic racing cars, such as the Mustang, giving them a sleek and stylish look.

Snowfeet have gained recognition and acclaim in the design community. In 2019, they were exhibited at the Munich ISPO trade show and received a finalist prize. This innovative design has also been awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Sporting Goods, Fitness, and Recreation Equipment category in 2020. This prestigious award recognizes Snowfeet for its outstanding creativity, technical skills, and contribution to improving the quality of life for winter sports enthusiasts.

With Snowfeet, Zbynek Suba and his team have created a unique and exciting winter sport that combines the thrill of skiing with the agility of skating. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a beginner looking for a new adventure, Snowfeet offer a fun and accessible way to enjoy the slopes and explore new terrain. Embrace the winter season with Snowfeet and experience the joy of this innovative winter sport.
