Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9728861A1] A snowshoe including a generally flat central portion (36) with a generally straight longitudinal cross-section forming the boot supporting portion. A rear portion (32) extending from said central portion (36) has a lower surface (37) that rises up from the point (38) where it is connected to the central portion (36). A central fin (39) projects from the underside of the rear portion (32) of the snowshoe. The profiled shape of the rear portion (32) not only has a significant steering effect due to the presence of a rear extension (32), but also makes it easier to lift the front of the snowshoe during walking, whereby the rear supporting point is closer to the user's foot when going downhill.
