I looked into getting some monoskis, was planning to mount them up with a single binding on each, but I've never been able to find a pair well enough matched. Also checked for a pair of Skwals, La Croix was the only choice but far too expensive to put a pair together to ski on. Damn them.

fatbob, Those guys were at the Mondial about 6 or 7 years ago! I tried one - wobbled a lot but didn't fall. We found peeps interested here to stock them and Maryline was very interested in teaching teachers to do it (she now runs the ESI at la Toussuire), but they never got back to us, even to thank us for all the time and effort on their behalf!!

Well, it went unsold in the end, not a single bid.

Kneehighninja,
Ignore the philistines, monoskiing is cool, precisely because it isn't the latest fashion.
Just think, whilst everyone else is flying down, out of control in a ragged, legs apart stance, you'll be sweeping down in good style, knees and feet perfectly together and you'll be the centre of attention. How cool is that ?
And then the offpiste, powder and crud.........so simple. Don't follow the crowd, lead it !

Peter S, yeah, and just when you need some fine speed control as you arrive at the lift queue and try to use that oft-maligned snowplough??
You could equally be centre of attention by sporting a fine 1990's degre 7 jacket in 3 shades of purple, 2 pinks a blue and flourescent yellow. Equally sensible too.

Guys, I decided to buy a brand new monoski and have purchased a Duret 'Free' via Jean-Phillipe at www.duretskis.com. After an exchange of really friendly emails to him in France we struck a deal and it should be with me in early September with bindings mounted and ready to go! ScottGordon at www.chronicski.biz in the USA was also really helpful and worth checking out if you're that side of the pond. It was nigh on impossible to find anyone in the UK with the ability or experience to mount bindings on a monoski which is why I bought the package from France. Just need to shed several pounds to squeeze back into the old one-piece suit so I don't disappoint the mockers. Hope some others may take the plunge while many may get left behind. Just need some snow now. Be on the lookout somewhere in Europe this coming winter for a short man on a gleaming new monoski. Best wishes to all and thanks for the lively exchange, Kneehighninja!!!!!

Hi guys, it's arrived and it's beautiful! Not sure where my mono will get its first airing yet and wouldn't want to spoil the surprise of a 'stealth' attack. Rest assured I won't be pushing the snow off the slopes while sat on my bum. Graphics are blue top with a diving eagle over the front and a black Pitex base that I hope no one will get to see. I got a wicked DVD with the package of guys doing some extreme stuff on mono's. So there is room for us all. Be not afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards, Kneehigh
