RE:         THE WORLDS FIRST FULL-MOTION SNOWSHOE

Geneva, IL (December 2002) -- The worlds first full-motion snowshoe is now available online at www.x-streamproducts.com. Appropriately branded The Yeti, this radical new snowshoe features an innovative concave design for superior flexibility and increased mobility. It enables the user to move naturally in any direction -- forwards, backwards or sideways -- even while running, jumping, traversing or climbing.

The durable, compact construction delivers more float in powder conditions and additional traction on ice, so theyre ideal for trekking in any terrain. And weighing less than three pounds per pair, theyre lightweight enough to take anywhere.

The Yeti snowshoe is currently available in three different styles: 1) The standard Yeti S features no-pivot bindings for ease and comfort, and provides the same quality and durability of higher-end snowshoes, yet is priced more economically for the recreational snowshoer. 2) The Yeti SL adds an aggressive crampon to the standard design, providing increased traction and stability when snowshoeing on ice and hardpack. 3) The Yeti XL is the ultimate snowshoe. Perfect for a backcountry boarder, it features no-pivot, double-ratchet snowboard bindings for ease and comfort, as well as an aggressive crampon for increased traction and stability on ice.
