skiboarding

Short ski sport

Skiboarding is a winter sport using short, wide skis—typically under a meter long—without poles.

The compact boards allow for tricks, spins, and jumps similar to snowboarding while keeping feet separate like traditional skiing.

Skiboards attach with bindings that release on falls: We spent the afternoon skiboarding in the terrain park.

Also called snowblading.
