"Ride, Slide, Or Glide"
Gifts For Kids On The Go From SnowShack.com

DATELINE: DOVER & HARVARD, MA, ISSUED NOVEMBER 6, 2002.Hunting for unique
gifts for your sooo- cool junior skier or snowboarder? Head to SnowShack.com
to keep them on the go, even off the slopes! SnowShack co-founder David
Laidman has pulled out all the stops, gathering a stupendous selection of
fun gifts that keep up the rush on all kinds of terrain!

"Kids who love to ski and snowboard want to keep on the move, regardless of
the weather or terrain, so we put it all together for easy one-stop shopping
at SnowShack.com" explains SnowShack co-founder George Hall. Discovering
holiday gifts for hard to please kids is an effortless excursion at
SnowShack.com, where Laidman and Hall, both discriminating dads themselves,
have researched firsthand the stuff that makes a hit with the kids, from
snowshoes to snow tubes, to the hottest new sleds, snow blades, or ATBs.

Sledding Redefined
Does the image of an old wooden flexible flyer come to mind when the word
sledding is mentioned? That image will quickly disappear when you set eyes
on SnowShack's sled collection. Imagine the surprise and delight of the kids
when they unwrap a revolutionary new Mt. Washington Mad River Rocket Sled!
Made of polyethylene and weighing only 6 pounds, the sleds are designed with
today's kids and athletes in mind. Simply kneel on the soft, sure-grip,
ribbed knee pads, strap on the lap belt, and let it rip!

The Mad River Rocket is the only sled in the world that allows riders to
carve turns, perform stunts, maneuver through glades, or glide through
powder, all while stopping safely! The sled is designed for use where there
is 3" of loose snow, for safe control and a super comfortable ride. Two
holes in the bow make it easy to attach ropes or a stiff hitch pulling
system for towing the kids and it's light enough to pack for backcountry
snowshoeing or camping expeditions.

Or, if you're looking for something for your favorite skateboarder, try the
Snow Deck. The latest in riding, the Snow Deck allows kids to stand and ride
down their favorite sledding hill, rather than sitting and sliding. It's a
great winter alternative when skateboard parks are snowed in. The Snow Deck,
essentially a skateboard without wheels, is made of molded plastic for
superior sliding, with a grooved base for directional control, and a foam
top for grip.

Keep the kids from borrowing a tray from the kitchen to get down the nearest
snowy hill, instead wrap up a Eurosled, the modern version of a toboggan,
for a fun, affordable holiday gift! Eurosleds, made of tough high-density
polyethylene, have the feel of a tray with the convenience of sure-grip
handles and rugged construction designed to stand up to wear. SnowShack
recently added three models of Eurosleds to their extensive collection. The
lightweight Eurosled Whomper Sled Tray is designed for a single rider, while
the durable and stable Eurosled Super Whomper comfortably seats two. Or try
the easy to control Eurosled Swiss Bob Super Sled Tray, an updated version
of the legendary Swiss Bob, for a super fast ride, a favorite for après ski.
Great gifts for kids of all ages!

This holiday season, head to the hills after outfitting the kids with their
own snow tubes. Snow tubes, the comfortable lightweight alternative to
traditional sleds, are inexpensive gifts that provide hours of fun for all
of the kids! SnowShack stocks versatile SportsStuff Snow Tubes, designed for
year round use, delivering riding pleasure on snow and floating pleasure on
water. Choose from the 36" Rally Snow Tube or the 48" Ameri-Sport or Yukon
Snow Tubes, all designed for winter sledding or summer use in a pool or
lake!

Still feeling nostalgic about a wooden sled? SnowShack has the perfect
alternative for the youngest members of the family, a rugged push-pull
handcrafted snow sled made from solid Beech Wood, handmade in Bavaria. Watch
your toddlers beam with delight as they're transported in style through the
snow!

A Whole New Spin
Wrap up some ski/snow blades from SnowShack.com and introduce the kids to
the trills of ski/snowblading, the skiing or snowboarding alternative! Young
rippers will let loose in the terrain parks showing off their latest ski,
snowboard, skateboard, or inline skate tricks. The Salomon Mini Grom
Snowblade/Skiblade, featuring widebody construction for stability and
balance, is the best for kids under 5 feet tall to start the sport. The
Groms come complete with factory mounted easy to adjust non-release
bindings, which fit most skiboard boots, all regular ski boots, and
hard-shell snowboard and mountaineering boots. The Salomon Miniverse 90cm
Snowblade/Skiblade is also a great entry-level snowblade, designed to make
turning easier with more stability at faster speeds. Both tips are raised
for skiing forward, backward, and spinning in between!

For more advanced bladers, SnowShack carries the best all around Salomon
snowblade, the Salomon Minimax 98cm made for speed, with quick edge to edge
control and responsiveness for trail skiing. Or check out a new ski
alternative for the advanced ski boarder, K2 Fatty Ski Boards - Ski Blades
with a wider chassis for improved flotation in soft snow, but narrow enough
for better hard snow performance. A great learning tool for aspiring
carvers, ski/snow blades are easy to turn and control with the
characteristics of a true ski.

Take A Hike
Whether they're in the backyard or backcountry, plan for fun in the snow by
introducing the kids to the adventure of snowshoeing. SnowShack.com's huge
selection of kids' sized snowshoes will make it easy to outfit all of the
kids with gifts of snowshoes this holiday season. The little ones won't want
to wait to try out the Redfeather Snowpaw, the coolest new snowshoes for
kids ages 3 to 7. Shaped like a bear claw, it leaves Bigfoot-like tracks in
the snow and features an easy-on, secure binding and a hinged deck, making
the going easy even for the littlest hikers. For kids under 80 lbs, the
Redfeather Junior model, Sparrow Hawk, made of the same top quality
materials that go into Redfeather adult snowshoes, stands up to the toughest
workout that children can give.

Or, choose award winning Little Bear Cubs and Grizzlies Kids Snowshoes, the
world's most popular children's snowshoes. They are highly engineered
snowshoes, not throw-away toys, allowing kids to have more fun in the snow,
to climb higher hills, run faster and go more places. Little Bear Cubs Kids
Snowshoes fit kids ages 3 -5 and up to 50 lbs. while Little Bear Grizzlies
Kids Snowshoes are for kids from ages 5 -12, weighing up to 100 lbs.

SnowShack's broad lineup also includes two models of Tubbs snowshoes
designed specifically for kids. The Tubbs Tubbscout Kids Snowshoe supports
children up to 45 lbs. and fits a wide range of boot styles to youth size 2.
Tubbs Discovery 18 for Kids Snowshoes are built to accommodate a wide range
of boot sizes to fit children up to 80 lbs.

Keep On Trucking
What happens if the holidays roll around and there's NO SNOW! Don't despair,
SnowShack has thought of it all! There's more than one way to tackle a
mountain (or even a molehill!) SnowShack's line of Mongoose All Terrain
Boards are sure to please and brighten your boarder's disposition when there
's not a speck of snow to be found. They're also perfect for skateboarders,
surfers, wake boarders, mountain boarders or bikers, or any kind of radical
board sports fanatic.

SnowShack offers Mongoose ATBs to fit every size and ability level from the
awesome entry level Varmint 97cm for the groms (little kids) age five and
up, to the high speed Giant Slalom 152 cm board for riders over 6 feet and
200 pounds. The well-rounded Slalom 132cm is a best seller, and is the same
standard issue board for many members of the US Snowboard team. Choose from
4 styles of heavy duty super tough 4130 Chromolly Steel Frame Style Boards
and 3 feather light Uni-Body (frameless) Freestyle Boards, all described in
detail in a quick guide to Mongoose ATB selection at SnowShack.com.
