Abstract
A pair of snowshoes, or skis, are utilized by the user to go up the slope of a hill. A binding bracket is carried separately to the top of the slope when the user then mounts the binding bracket to the back ends of each snowshoe and thus provides a singular snowboard for the user to slide down the slope.

A combination snowshoe and snowboard apparatus for both ascending and descending a snow covered slope comprising:
- a first and a second snowshoe element, each said first and said second snowshoe element including crampons, said crampons being selectively engageable with the snow surface;
- a connecting element for removably attaching said first and said second snowshoe element one to the other such that a generally smooth bottom surface is formed;
- whereby
- said first and said second snowshoe elements are adapted to be placed on a user's feet and said crampons are adapted to be selectively brought into engagement with the snow surface, thus providing traction on the snow surface and further where said first and said second snowshoe elements are adapted to be attached one to the other by said connecting element and said crampons are adapted to be selectively removed from contact with the snow surface, the resulting generally smooth bottom surface enables the user to slide over a snow covered slope.
