The areas of contact with the snow are completely asymmetrical, that is without any symmetry axis. The spike lies in a plane which slants outwards with respect to the skier and forms an angle between 15° and 45°. The snow-wheel has a markedly asymmetrical shape i.e. it has no symmetry axis, it has two essentially straight sides which fan out from the tube forming an angle of between 60° and 90°. One of the straight sides is substantially perpendicular to the skier's direction of travel. | |
