Sick of unstrapping and breaking into a sweat as you skate along the flat, while skiers smugly fly past you? A new pole for boarders could change all that.
The Snowstik is a snazzy new gadget from snowboarder Richard Marks. The telescopic pole is designed to be clipped onto your boot and extends at the press of a button from 55cm to 140cm.
You can propel yourself along the flat or straight on and off the chairlift without ever needing to undo your bindings.
The pole comes in five colours, including a girlie lipstick pink (boys might prefer gunmetal or stealth) and is on sale for £55.
Snowclips cost £11.75, though it might be more comfortable if you bung it on the outside of your backpack.

This is a nice idea but I can't see them selling that many in the UK. Beginners have enough to worry about without having a thick pole attached to their leg and non-beginners generally try to avoid flats altogther. They might sell a few within the backcountry style resorts.
