Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Yes. Wheels are mandatory.

Monoskiing down a mild gradient on a wide skateboard, with a reasonably long wheelbase, is fun!

David, saw a few monoskis around in VT last week (more monoskiers than telemarkers, I think).

I did it once years ago. Skiing down a path in Les Arcs, strong sunlight, came round a corner, saw what I thought was ice, in fact it was wet tarmac. Destroyed the skis and my ski pants.

IMO more people should ski tarmac, especially those who own their own skis - it's good for business wink

Hoppo, I have found rental skis to have much better edge hold on tarmac than my own..

Seriously - this is to be expected in an age where people ski rails, benches and escalators. How long before we see a Tarmac Specific Ski?
