It's especially frustrating in wet snow. You're not doing anything wrong, but you might want to take a look at either better snowpants ;) or possibly a hinged binding system (vs the spring system you have now). That might work better for your needs. The big disadvantage to hinged bindings is less fine-tuned mobility, especially backwards, but beyond that, they might be a good option for you. Rent a pair first though and see what you think. Hi Sylvia – The “snow flip” is actually fairly common unfortunately. It’s especially frustrating in wet snow.

We've tried different walking techniques but with the same result - wet snow pants. What are we doing wrong?
