I can still clearly remember receiving my first pair of ski blades. Four years ago, in a college dorm, I opened up a box from K2 and immediately tried on my new K2 Fatties, despite not being anywhere near snow. They’ve become such a significant part of my ski lifestyle. If the snow isn’t where I want it, if it’s a warmer party day, or if I’m just feeling like I could go for some classic tomfoolery, the ski blades come out.

Unfortunately, not everyone has been so lucky as to try blades on for themselves. You may be considering purchasing your own pair, but aren’t quire sure what you’re getting yourself into. Fortunately, this wonderful crash course will tell you just about everything you need to know without being a boring review.
