High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A snowdeck is a skateboard with a small ski attached beneath it. The single ski under the deck replaces the trucks and wheels of a standard skateboard. Unlike snowboards, the snowdeck does not have bindings to strap into, instead, the rider's feet are free like when skateboarding. In place of snowboard bindings the snowdeck has either griptape, rubber, or foam on the surface of the deck for traction between the deck and the rider's shoes.
