Definition: A snowskate is defined as a skateboard like device used on snow. It consists of a skateboard deck mounted to a miniature ski or snowboard, generally no longer than 80 cm. Like a skateboard, snowskate riders are not connected to the board, allowing for a variety of flip-tricks and other skate-inspired maneuvers.
Pronunciation: [snoh] [skeyt]
Examples:
My local resort just opened a snowskate park at the base of the mountain!
