Vidde has introduced its pre-series all-electric Alfa snowmobile with the bold claim that it's the cleanest snowmobile in the world. The 174-hp Alfa powers up in temperatures below -30 °F, slashing through snow for 60 miles a charge.

Adventure Board looks to supply kids, big and small, with one of the most versatile pieces of outdoor equipment they'll own. Its rugged all-terrain fun board does everything from trampoline bouncing to all-out adventures on lakes, snow and land.

For cyclists in many parts of the world, the arrival of winter signals the end of proper outdoor bike riding. Well, they might want to check out the Arosno E-trace, as it's designed specifically for cycling in the snow.

Quiet, clean electric drives have the ability to revolutionize vehicles well beyond autos. MoonBikes is bringing electric tech to the mountains, finding a space between the electric bike and the e-snowmobile with a full-throttle electric snow bike.

With the success of its first diesel-electric snow groomer, the 600 E+ "Green Machine", launched in 2012, the team at PistenBully was inspired to work towards developing a 100-percent electric, zero-emission groomer, which has already proven itself in field testing.

As a simplified snowboard that verges on skateboard territory, the Mundo Trailboard is a new kind of ride built to lighten the load when on foot in search of untouched powder, while still offering plenty of carving capability thanks to a heavily contoured shape. ​

Attempting to solve several bike rack issues all at once, Seattle's Stag Rack presents a versatile, multi-sport rack designed to mount on any vehicle in about two minutes. The system relies on vacuum cups and interchangeable mounts to easily switch between carrying bikes or skis.

We've seen some interesting evolutions of established avalanche safety technologies over the years, but the latest product in the category brings more flash. Using pyrotechnics, the Resero XV system​ blows snowboard binding straps clean off at the pull of a wearable trigger.

The typical snowshoe is great for walking atop snow at a slow, steady pace, but try running in it and you'll likely find yourself facedown, flailing around in powder. The latest running snowshoe coming to market promises a smoother snow-top running experience with its all-foam construction.

The recent ISPO 2016 show brought a new skiable snowshoe design to light, and though the all-new Crossblades probably won't shake up winter sports, they should make for a convincing mix of climbing and descending.
