Abstract
The present disclosure relates to snowboards and skis that include a pair of edges for each longitudinal side of the snowboard or ski. The edges are laterally spaced apart, with one edge being an outer edge and the other edge being an inner edge. The inner edge is positioned vertically lower than the outer edge. The inner edge generally engages the snow surface prior to the outer edge, and is thus a transitional edge. Transitional edges may be rounded edges. The top surface of dual-edges snowboards or ski include an inner portion flanked on each lateral side by a lateral offset. A portion of the inner portion is recessed relative to the lateral offsets. The outer edges are positioned on a base surface of the lateral offsets. The inner edges are positioned on a base surface that is below the interface between the lateral offsets and the inner portion.
