Whats the crack with the snowblades ? do you have to be an expert skier to use them ? and is there that much differance using them to skis. Thinking about buying some just need more info first.cheers chalky

re: snow blades
You can hire them in Borovets if you wanted to do that first rather than buy some. My OH did last year.re: snow blades
Easier to use than proper skis. Not good for your technique tho - but loadsa fun to be had!re: snow blades
Because they are so much shorter they are much easier to control. They are great fun but I personally only like using them for half a day here and there, they can get a little boring i think. Deffinately worth a go.re: snow blades
We purchased our own for our visit to Pamps in Jan & they are great fun. If you are a speed demon then do not bother but for tighter turns & stuff great fun, Apart from that they fit in you normal luggage. I would reccomenrd them to any one who tends to keep crossong the tips of normal ski'sre: snow blades
Bought some a few years back and they are very easy to use, in fact a beginner after a few runs would be comfortable skiing down a red run on them.I tend to use them if the visibility is bad, or more often than not when i have a stinking hangover and can't be bothered to concentrate with the longer ski's!
I would hire a pair first though - roll on the 26th Jan!
re: snow blades
If your buying blades I'd go for the ones with release bindings, you get all the fun and no twisted knee's etc.
