I am a snowshoer and want to use them to travel and explore in place of my snowshoes.
I’m a crosscountry skier and want to roam around the hills and forest where I live.
I like to tour in the winter backcountry and find places where I can make some turns.
Hoks just go. No transitions, no adjusting, just continuous movement that lets you go where you want to go.
I was one of three skiers on hoks, with tiaks, at the top of a ridge in the backcountry. While the rest of the group fussed with their skins, we planned a group run down the steep slope. No plan, actually, just one two three go! Whooping and hollering, making tight turns with our Tiaks, we raced down the mountain, narrowly avoiding collisions. Much cheering and laughter at the bottom, and the decision to try it again!
I just got my 145 cm Hoks. I live in Washington D.C. which isn’t exactly a mecca of great ski terrain or snow. We got a nice storm last week though and I spent an afternoon cruising around on them in Rock Creek Park. It was the most fun I have had on skis in a very long time. Thanks for making such a great ski! I can’t wait to take them into the backcountry.

The Altai Mountains are dead center in the Eurasian Continent. The earliest written records of skiing (in Chinese histories) refer to skiers hunting in the Altai. Skiing’s place of origin is still a mystery but the Altai/ Lake Baikal region is considered one of the likely places where skis were first used. Read more >
