I know most of you know this already, but not everyone does, and I've seen some complaints in the game. So, I just wanted to give a little heads up.
 
Seems a number of people were confused by this image, apparently thinking these were new WinterFest hoverboards. I can't blame them. Not everyone is going to know what every hoverboard in the game looks like and where to get them. I just want to let anyone looking for these boards as part of the holiday know that these boards aren't part of the holiday, and have been available in the game since launch, I believe. 
 
 
The top board is the Go-Go board (my personal favorite, even if it is the cheapest board with flairs). You can get it for 25g at the hoverboard vendor in both Thayd and Illium. 
 
The bottom board is the Spike hoverboard, and the confusion on this one makes a bit more sense, at least for Exile players, since this is a Dominion-only board. It's sold by the hoverboard vendor in Illium and, I believe, you need a certain amount of Dominion reputation in order to buy it. Plus, it's pretty expensive. 
 
Anyway, for the few this might help, I hope it does.

			For awhile there was actually a Winterfest hoverboard place-holder in the mount preview screen. It seems that it wasn't ready. Hopefully next year :)

It may have been both things contributing to the confusion.
I do remember seeing screenshots of the Winterfest hoverboard preview from a PTR build and it didn't have any textures as far as I can remember.
Likely unfinished or scrapped content.
 
Actually, here's the link I remember going around: http://imgur.com/LTUXiWX
