    A friend just sent this to me. Thoughts?

    I tried them like 20 years ago. They were fucking stupid. Maybe they've made improvements, but they sure still look the same. Waste of time.

    I swear if I see any of my ski friends on these they get a fucking beatdown.

    Found a pair of the old version in the closet at some condo in Big Sky in college. Kind of entraining on the snow covered roads of the condo complex as long as no one saw you on them.

    I think there are more threads in this forum about these than pairs sold.

    Didn't they used to be called Bigfeet?

    Or maybe that's just a brand name.

    Those were the "first" snow blades. The tips had little "toes" shape and a foot graphic topsheet, but they had some tip and tail...

    They want 200 Euros for those things. Hahahahahahah.
