Smallfoot Inflatable Snowshoes

By Drew Prindle Published December 23, 2019

If snowshoeing is your thing, these probably won’t be of interest to you. But if you’re anything like me and snowshoeing is simply a means to an end – a way t0 get out to some backcountry terrain that nobody’s touched all season – then you’ll want to check this out.

Rather than being made from “lightweight” materials like aluminum and carbon fiber, these badboys are made up of a slim, tube-shaped layer of puncture-proof fabric. When inflated, they boost the surface area of your foot and keep you on top of the snow just like a traditional snowshoe, but with the added benefit of being collapsible. If at any point you don’t need them, just roll em up, store them in the included pouch, and keep going. Weighing in at just 485 grams apiece, they’ll hardly even slow you down.

Have you ever found yourself gripping the armrests of your couch when it becomes clear the Olympic figure skater is beginning their approach to what is sure to be a major jump? Jumps in skating are one of the most exciting, technically-challenging components of a routine -- and what we all talk about and remember when the performance is over. The slightest of technical flaws during figure skating jumps are often what separate Olympic medal winners from the rest of the competition, and it’s usually the jumps that really exemplify the athletic prowess of the best figure skaters.
Get to know the primary figure skating jumps your favorite Olympic figure skaters will be showcasing in their routines at the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympic in Beijing, which are detailed below.

What Are the Jumps in Figure Skating Called?
Although every figure skating routine is unique in some way, there are only six recognized jumps in competitive figure skating: the toe loop, the Salchow, the loop, the flip, the Lutz, and the Axel. Each jump may be completed as a half, single, double, or quadruple, which refers to the number of rotations completed mid-air. Women competing in the Olympics usually complete triple jumps (such as a triple Axel or a triple toe loop), which involves three or three and a half rotations while male figure skaters at the Olympic level typically perform quadruple (four rotations) jumps.

What Is Luge?
Luge is a winter sport that involves racing on special sleds down a banked ice track. Athletes lie supine, or on their backs, with their feet leading down the track. The roots of luge are thought to date back as far as the year 800 with the Vikings competing in sled races on the mountains along the fjords near present-day Oslo. The first confirmed model-day luge competition was in Switzerland in 1183, and luge became an Olympic event at the 1964 Olympic Games. Luge athletes from Germany tend to dominate the podium at the Winter Olympics, with athletes from Italy and Austria often making a good showing as well.
