Skiing or snowshoeing? It's an impossible decision, which
allows for only one solution—skishoes. Quickly going from follow-
ing an existing path to blazing a new one in an instant sounded too
good to be true for IFM
staff, so we decided to test them out.
Our minds were blown as we marched up the layered hills of
snow at Tautphaus Park and cleanly skied right back down it. The
dual-use Trackers Skishoes acted as advertised—working as both a
ski and snowshoe and cutting through the snow with ease, making
our job much easier.
Its clean maneuvering even
gave us the confidence to take it
for a spin on some large hills.
CEO Tom Gibson developed
the skishoe after cross-country
skiing trips left him unhappy
with his less than adequate
equipment. Gibson's back-
ground in skiing and mechani-
cal engineering gave him the
skills and knowledge he needed to create a quality skishoe.
Gibson recently added to the Trackers Skishoes inventory. While
always offering a 33" skishoe, they now offer a new 44" red skishoe
that gives larger users even more control and mobility.
"This gives us a more complete range of products," shared
Gibson. "A longer skishoe works better for larger users and gives
more flotation in deeper powder."
IFM staff noticed a rugged hiking boot works best with the
skishoe, giving you a sturdy base. The versatility of the shoe made
difficult trails a much smoother experience and cross-country ski-
ing an option for the newbies on our team.
To help with climbing, Trackers offers climbing skins that can
attach to the bottom of your skishoes. The nylon fiber skins give
extra grip on steep hills, providing you with everything you need
for whichever adventure you choose to tackle in Eastern Idaho.
