 Hi, I'm known as "The Mono
Maniac" since I'm a little crazy and originally from Maine. I've been skiing a
monoski exclusively for the past 16 years. I have skied just about every monoski ever
made, and have a quiver from Rossignol, Dynastar, SkiTech, Tua, Duret, etc. Living in Lake
Tahoe enables me to ski around 150 days per year. Before monoskiing, I used to ski on
regular alpine gear; I've also tried snowboarding, but find monoskiing more fun and safer
since you have regular releasable bindings and poles. While competing in extreme
competitions and launching air whenever possible, I tend to abuse a ski a little more than
your average skier. I doubt there is anyone out there who has more years of monoskiing
than I. I've learned the hard way what works and doesn't when it comes to monoski
construction, breaking many skis and forking out big time for repairs.
Snowshark listened to my suggestions as well as other experienced monoskiers in the know
before building their monoski. The result: the first monoski to use advanced technology
such as a parabolic side-cut, a wood core combined with carbon fiber (talk about
strength!) as well as being a capped ski for torsional rigidity. The bindery plate was
specially designed to bond with the ski. The result is a strong, snappy monoski that
carves and performs great in all conditions. During the two years I've been skiing the
Snowshark, I've yet to break one. Before that I was breaking five or six monos a season. I
also enjoy powder skiing and find the Snowshark glides in the powder effortlessly.
So if you see me out on the slopes - I'll be on a Snowshark.
Best of turns to ya, |
