Description
| Note: This product comes with everything you need to start using snowboard bindings on your 4×4 skiboards. (bindings, risers, highback wings, 3rd straps and hardware)
The holy grail of skiing has always been to chuck your uncomfortable hard ski boots and enjoy the soft comfort of snowboarding boots. While this is just a pipe dream for traditional skiers, skiboarders on the other hand have been experimenting with this option for many years. Through individual experimentation and community knowledge sharing here is what we’ve learned up to this point: A) While you can take any snowboard bindings and attach them to quality 4×4 skiboards the resulting ride is so poor, with zero lateral support, it outweighs any softboot comfort gains. B) For this to work 4 things are required:
C) No snowboarding company makes a binding with these 3 features so skiboarders have to make or modify their own. |

I have nothing but positive things to say about these bindings. I’ve been a skier for 25 years. I made the switch to skiblades when they came out, and switched to skiboards about 5 years ago. My feet have always suffered at the hands of my ski boots. I am happy to say that they suffer no more! I bought a pair of K2 Maysis [Flex 7] and had 2 of the best days of riding ever. The binding boot combination performed exceptionally in powder, on moguls, carved beautifully and screamed down the groomers. My concerns about switching from release bindings and boots were immediately negated after my first run. Can’t wait for Tahoe in a few weeks!

I’ve gotten so many mind-blown looks, head turns & compliments on these SnowJam snowboard boot bindings for my skiboards – its awesome!!
Although I can’t take the credit when people ask if I made them myself, it still feels pretty good to get such positive reactions from guys running the chair lifts & people that I meet on the slopes.
Not to mention they allow me to FINALLY wear a snowboard boot. This is a major plus for me. I love my skiboards being paired with these bindings!

All I have to say is they do the job but do beware if your boots have a boa the third strap does go over it in a way that I’m not comfortable with so after swapping the third strap for one I modified to go around the boa on my boot it was alright. Would like if the binding was more narrow but modded snowboard bindings don’t seem to come anymore narrow than stock. If you want a binding that is flush with the boot you’ll have to make your own. The riser that comes with the setup is pretty tall and the third strap is a much needed part to control a skiboard
