PCT No. PCT/JP92/00845 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 5, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 5, 1993 PCT Filed Jul. 3, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/11836 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 24, 1993.A pair of roller skis 300 each constituted by attaching elastic wheels 302 to a boot-placing plate 301 in the front thereof and at the back thereof. The elastic wheels 302 each comprises a wheel supporting means having a circular rim part on the outer periphery and a tire part mounted on the circular rim part of the wheel supporting means and being elastically deformable in the direction perpendicular to the running direction of the wheel. Each elastic wheel 302 enables the running direction thereof to be simply changed with the wheel shaft kept in the same direction, and utilization of the features permits a skier to operate the roller skis with a feeling similar to that afforded by conventional snow skis.
