Trying to remember the name of a company selling "Boot-Skis" that cost $500

I came across a video of a new company advertising these boot-skis where the ski part was the length of the skis boot. I've seen boot skis before where you'd strap in to use them, but these cost like $300-$500 because the ski part and the ski boot were one piece meaning that you could only use them as a boot ski. Just trying to remember the name of the company to use as an example of one of the worst ideas anyone could ever invest in

I literally tried those the first time they brought them out at a race somewhere around say '93-'95.

Surprised nobody made an attatchment that you just stick under your current boot because $300 for unfitted sled dogs is way pricier than most people would expect.

Yes SledDogs haha!! I know boot skis have been around for awhile. But these $300+ ones have really been profitable enough to still be around all these years?

I witnessed a guy try to ski 15cm of pow with them one time. It was hilarious.

Actually own a pair of sled dogs. Picked them up at a goodwill in the middle of Wisconsin for 2$. Brand new in the box! Super fun to mess around with, but also super sketchy. The toe piece is rubber so if you're not back seat the toe will catch, tomahawk engaged.

No fucking way, I don't know who donated or put the price on those but damn they are oblivious.
