Baller JBB Posted January 28, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2019 Has anyone heard of these? I used one a while back when in the alps. I am looking for one here in the USA. I am looking for something fun to do while my kids are in ski lessons. If any of you have a lead, let me know. I would love to pick one up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skwal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller oldjeep Posted January 28, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2019 Had one a couple of years ago. Scary as hell. Sold it same year i bought it. Ill stick with my monoski when i want people to stare. Check ebay, they pop up there occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted January 28, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted January 28, 2019 @oldjeep. Watched a couple videos of this aspect of snow skiing. What made it scary? Did not see any powder action just groomed medium slopes.. looks fast ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JBB Posted January 28, 2019 Author Baller Share Posted January 28, 2019 it IS fast, the hard part is dumping speed if I recall. groomers are a must, and I'd stay away from super steep stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted January 28, 2019 Baller Share Posted January 28, 2019 The scary part was that Midwestern trails are narrow and it was super easy to get back on the tail, which would launch you off into the trees and snowmaking pipes. Non release bindings also scared me. That is a really long lever and the give is your knees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
