A frame is fixedly attached to the sole and includes a forward frame portion and a rear frame portion.

The ski assembly includes a ski member and an adapter wherein the adapter is releasably attached to the boot and the ski is releasably connected to the adapter. The adapter includes a bottom surface that facilitates walking when the ski is removed. In another embodiment, each of the wheeled truck, the blade carrying truck and the ski have an integral mounting structure complimentary to the frame and are removably attached directly to the boot.
