  I don't think the designers making these skis have done any skiing outside prepared tracks. And when on prepared tracks, for search and rescue, a snow scooter would do.

  
  

  Snow is not a homogenous mass, its more like sand on a beach. These belts are too short, and they are too far from the vertical point, of the centre of gravity. So they would do much at all, except in optimal conditions.

  
  

  To add to this, they add weight. And in loose snow, this is basically a death sentence. If you have to lift your foot up 30cm for each step, the last thing you want are heavy shoes

  
  

  I am sure they have their uses, but not for search and rescue. Because these are no good off piste.
