SwitchBoarding is a whole new way to hit the slopes

Having a tough time trying to decide whether you should ski or snowboard this winter sports season? Let me make it hard for you: there's a new, third option. It's called Switchboarding, and it's kind of a mix of skiing and snowboarding.

Featuring "two short woodcore boards joined end-to-end on a double hinge, with lightweight footstraps on top, twin skates underneath the rear board, and an aluminum steering bar on a pogo stick-like suspension unit mounted on the front board," it looks to add a whole new twist to zipping down a mountain on top of packed snow. Just make sure you avoid any trees…l that's a surefire way to end any day of skiing, snowboarding, or Switchboarding.
