One day, snowboarders may be able to charge down the slopes while charging their batteries with a solar panel equipped snowboard. The snowboard will be equipped with a pair of solar panels fitted to the board's shape and connected to a converter in the center of the board. The board's two rechargeable batteries will be able to power smartphones and music devices, taking advantage of the bright sun on snowy mountain slopes.

The idea is to create a unique snowboard by cutting the board in half, allowing each foot to have independent control and opening the door to an array of new tricks. The boards will be made of traditional snowboard materials, and will be used with current snowboard bindings. Such a snowboard will allow the user to have the fun of a snowboard and the mobility of skis, without locked feet and bulky poles.
