UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Snowfeet are very short skis, a little longer than winter boots. Downhill skiing using Snowfeet is a combination of skiing and skating. Basically, it´s a new winter sport that could be also called snowskates. It can be used both on the slopes and off piste. The main benefit for customers is the fun they experience using Snowfeet.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The biggest advantage over skiing is a more relaxed and fun ride. You can access places like narrow forest paths, where you wouldn’t get with skis or snowboard. Very light and small, so it fits into any bag and you can take it with you anywhere. Beautiful design combined with a practical use for skiing pleasure. One size fits all, You do not need any special boots. You can wear your regular winter boots. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2017 in the Czech Republic.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: High durable plastic material: PA6 plus 30 percent glass fibers. Screw, nut, and washer are black zinc chromate plating, the material is metal. Snowfeet is SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 390mm x 130mm x 40mm TAGS: sports, speed, miniski, black, sharp, light, comfortable, innovation RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The overall design of the ski was based on a study of the natural position of the human foot in motion. Given these assumptions, Snowfeet is designed to be safe and can only be used with ordinary winter boots. The front radius is inspired by classic winter ski so it cannot be buried in snow. The steel edges at the bottom serve for better ski control and easy skid stop. Guide rails on the base for better driving direction. The side appearance is inspired by classic racing cars such as the Mustang. The heel of the Snowfeet with a bevel from the top and sharp bumps from the bottom can be used to slow down driving or stopping. Internal non-slip surface, which is designed for both classic and Snowboard boots, is decorated with a deer image that adds grandeur to the whole ski. CHALLENGE: The hardest challenge was to design Snowfeet so it is manageable, safe, stoppable and cool. It took our team, led by Zbynek, for over a year of constant testing and designing.
