  • Publication number: 20040021297
    Abstract: A molded snowshoe of a high impact plastic material able to efficiently ascend inclines and yet incorporating the ability to change configuration such that the user can ski downhill. The device includes the ability for the position of the user's foot relative to the present invention to change during transformation from snowshoe mode to ski mode, thus actuating the rotation of wings ending in a position under the device to form a continuous ski-able surface. Snowshoeing is performed when the wings are rotated in an outward position, thus enabling the user's foot to have the freedom to rotate through the plane of the bottom surface of the present invention.
