It's a kit, so you can use your front wheel if you like instead of the pictured ski.

The real website is at
http://www.ktrakcycle.com/home.html
but it's a jerkoff flash animation piece o' crap and you can't control what you see nor can you bookmark the real stuff. Jerks.

How do they keep snow from getting under the track and derailing it?

There's no additional information on the blog, and I'm unwilling to wait through the flash crap on the ktrak site to see if they have any content.

I poked around there a bit, but couldn't find much content. :? Too bad, because it sounds like a neat concept.
