Further, a snowboard with handle provided with such a handle is provided. A handle for a snowboard with handle to be attached to a sliding board of a snowboard to form a snowboard with handle includes a front-side plate part, a back-side plate part, and a handle main body having a reinforcing member joining an inside surface of the front-side plate part and an inside surface of the back-side plate part and having a hollow portion inside, wherein the reinforcing member internally includes a core member constituted of a hollow cylindrical body or a columnar body having a predetermined thickness. Further, a snowboard with handle including this handle for a snowboard with handle.

A snowboard support apparatus, attached to the snowboard in such a way that it extends from the board and provides a physical support for the rider to lean against in order to aid in the process of learning to snowboard. The support apparatus provides support to the rider to allow them to develop skills in being able to ride a snowboard in an incremental and natural manner without constraining the riding experience.

Some embodiments disclosed herein provide an apparatus for joining two skis to form a splitboard. The apparatus can comprise a first attachment portion configured to attach to a first ski and a second attachment portion configured to attach to a second ski. The first attachment portion and the second attachment portion can be configured to engage to prevent splitboard skis from moving up and down relative to each other, from moving apart in a direction perpendicular to a seam of the splitboard, from sliding relative to each other in a direction parallel to the seam, and from rotating about the seam of the splitboard.

A system for analysis of the performance in use of a sliding board includes a database storing baseline performance; a sensor sensitive to the deformations of said sliding board; and a monitoring body. The monitoring body determines the performance in use based on measurements from the sensor; and compares the performance in use with the baseline performance. The sensor is secured to the sliding board and has at least one piezoelectric element secured to the sliding board and configured to generate electric energy during the deformations of the sliding board; and an electronic processing circuit, powered exclusively by the electric energy generated by the at least one piezoelectric element.

The present disclosure provides an approach to propelling an activity board. The approach involves, for example, a propulsion device comprising a driver transitionable between a first position and a second position, a motor operatively connected to the driver, and a power source operatively connected to the motor. The driver, when in the first position, is above a plane of an activity board and when in the second position, is below the plane of the activity board. A mount may apply a force to the driver. The approach also involves, for example, an activity board comprising a mount coupled to the activity board, a driver connected to the mount, the driver driven by a motor, and a power source operatively connected to the motor. The activity board comprises a top surface and a bottom surface configured to traverse a terrestrial surface. The driver is transitionable between a first position and a second position and, when in the first position, is located above the bottom surface, and, when in the second position, is located below the bottom surface. The approach further involves, for example, a method for propelling an activity board comprising transitioning a driver from a first position to a second position characterized by the driver engaging a terrestrial surface and actuating a motor operatively connected to the driver, the motor coupled to the activity board via a mount. The motor is powered by a power source mounted to the activity board.

A device attachable to a pair of cross-country skis for grooming a trail in fresh snow simply by skiing the first pass. The purpose of this invention is to create a grooved trail in fresh snow to guide all skiers that follow in the same track. Without this attachment installed on the lead skier's ski, the soft snow on each side of the packed ski track does not help to keep the subsequent skier's ski in the lead skier's track. For them, it is like trying to ski on top of a narrow rail. This creates a situation where the skier must be diligent to stay in the track. With this device installed on the lead skiers ski, the subsequent skiers are guided by the packed snow on the sides of the lead skier's ski track. When skiing in tracks made using this invention, a skier can ski faster and smoother than in untracked snow. Since the compacted track helps guide the skier in the track, it allows the skier to focus on, and enjoy, the surroundings scenery. Another unique characteristic of this invention is its 2-part construction that allows the trail-making portion of the invention to be added and/or removed at any time. This allows the skier to easily change from being the lead skier to being a following skier. Or, if skiing alone, to return without the trail-making attachment, along the track he or she previously made.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sled having a sled attachment and a runner. The sled attachment may include a control deck and a connector assembly coupled to and positioned below the control deck. The runner may be coupled to the connector assembly and spaced apart from the deck. The runner may extend along a longitudinal axis of the control deck. The runner may comprise a snowboard.
