Hey, all the snow sports lovers! We know that watching snow melting is a pretty sad time in your (and our) lives, so we decided it is time to find some summertime alternatives for skiing and snowboarding. Because we all know that the snow may be gone but the desire to keep looking at what\u2019s going on stays, right? Ok, let\u2019s find that perfect skiing or snowboarding substitute to fill your summer months!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harb carvers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Harb\u2026what? Yep, that was our exact first reaction, when we heard about it. In fact, Harb carvers have been in the market for a while now and it\u2019s a substitute for skiing that is not only inexpensive but also gives the closest feeling to skiing. Harb carvers mimic the feel of skiing forces and carving better than anything else available.<\/a> This tool is designed for both training and learning, and it\u2019s really fun as well! The main difference between rollerblades and carvers is that the carvers give a sense of release at the transition and the fact that you have to use your ski boots on them.<\/p>\n

Inline Skating<\/strong><\/h4>\n

And here comes the second closest thing to skiing \u2013 rollerblades! Sure the Harb carvers are a little more ski-specific, but we would not recommend putting a beginner on these things. In-line skating, on the other hand, is far more versatile and it is a decent cross-training tool for everyone. Just don\u2019t forget to put on knee and elbow pads underneath whatever you’re wearing!<\/p>\n
