I was not a "good" skier by any stretch of the imagination. While attending college, my fraternity brother had a Tua monoski he let me borrowed. While learning to monoski, I met Michael Lish of Yama Monoskis and was hooked on his monoskis immediately. Skiing on a monoski in powder is nothing but pure heaven. I love the bumps and have really pushed the limits of my monoskis. My skiing technique improved tremendously and I learned how to really ski and control my edge. That was back in the late 80s, and I've been monoskiing ever since. It is MUCH safer for the knees and is a great workout. Try it. You'll love it!
