Unlike learning to snowboard, beginners at MonoSkiing will find the learning curve rapid and, more importantly, not painful.
We all have heard horror stories of friends who have experienced the frustration and agony of frequent falls during their first few painful days of snowboarding.
And the not infrequent injuries, particularly of the wrist. Indeed much of those first days learning to snowboard are spent on the knees or on the bottom sitting in the snow and wondering if it would ever be worth the effort, misery and pain.
Learning Advantages for the Beginner on the MonoSki
You go down the hill forward so, for skiers, there is virtually no change in feeling and aspect.
You wear your own ski boots – no new type of snowboard boot to buy.
You just step into the high tech Salomon release bindings - similar to those you have been used to.
You do not have to bend down to clip your boots up – not always easy for older snowboarders.
You do not have to make every other turn leaning backwards !
You have poles – just like you have had for skiing all these years.
Your poles help you keep in balance while MonoSkiing, avoiding the falls of beginner snowboarding.
Your poles also enable you to stand up on the slope – unlike snowboarders who must sit or kneel.
You get on the lift with both feet in the bindings, and ride up comfortably with your ski on the rest.
You get off the lift ready to ski - without having to bend down to clip your boots up again.
