being a 20+ year snowboarder gives me little thought of taking up skiing but these snowblades may convert me to a two plank life style. if you would allow me to be liberal with the term plank in regards to snowblades.

 

may turn out to be a great ice climbing approach tool though.

I'm not sure how these are really an improvement over the Rossignol Free Trek Venture approach skis I bought in the early 2000's. Actually the binding is identical, but the Freetreks were just a normal 99cm fat snowblade with a standard skin with glue. They really work quite well although are difficult to ski in anything but corn with a pack on (with my leather ice boots anyways). I haven't really used them since I made the switch to real skis with dynafits. I'd probably sell em if someone is interested.
