This is the gas-powered vehicle that combines the thrill of riding a snowmobile and the freedom of a snowboard, enabling you to surf effortlessly over the deepest fresh powder or on packed, granular snow. Its patented rubber track uses 1 3/4" snow lugs and flexes as you lean in the direction you wish to go for wide, graceful turns or aggressive slalom-like carvings.

Powered by a 6 1/2-hp four-cycle gasoline engine that starts with a pull, it can accommodate riders up to 250 lbs. and has a maximum speed of 18 mph, operating up to two hours on only 3/4-gallon of gasoline. The rugged frame is made of aluminum and high-density molded ABS plastic. Two cleated footpads provide secure footing while standing without requiring bindings, and its adjustable height-handlebar has a throttle control which provides easy stopping; includes a tethered auto-off switch.

Perfect for the winter time bully – while the others still making snowballs you can bombard them and walk away as a winner.

This toy blaster makes and launches softball-sized snowballs up to 50’, allowing rapid, long-range assaults during neighborhood snowball confrontations. Simply place snow in the forming chamber and close the lid, and it packs three perfectly spherical snowballs. To blast your mark, place one snowball in the muzzle, aim the launcher, and pull back the slingshot mechanism. Because the blaster is powered by elastomers instead of batteries, it provides uninterrupted, fast-action play.
