How to Make Roycroft Ski Shoes

Tom Roycroft has a design for snow shoes that is really nice in that it allows you to move like you are skiing. Think of cross country skiing, only on top of really powdery snow. Filmed in February 2013 at the Mors Kochanski Winter Survival Course.

They had some crazy method of tying in. It involved the usual knots and also a piece of inner tube.

Is there a review of the knife somewhere?

Please explain the position of the first lath in relation to the center of gravity
And then the second heel lath
thanks

The heal lath goes at the center of gravity / balancing point. The toe lath goes forward where the ball of you foot will rest.

I can't imagine these are very useful in deep powder. They would have to sink right in.
