There was alot of snowfall there and the town didn’t plow the streets or clear the sidewalks. A regular accessory to a stroller was a pair of hollow runners that fit over the wheels thus converting the stroller into a sled. There was no snow-free pavement to worry about.

The skis are mounted at a “sweet spot” so that on snow-free pavement, it’s the wheels that engage the surface, because the skis are clear of the surface, and the stroller rolls. On surface covered with snow/slush, the wheels sink in, leaving the stroller to be supported on the skis.
