An Ideal Program Mono Sit Ski

There are a couple schools of thought when it comes to what is an ideal sit ski (mono ski) used to teach an individual with a disability how to ski.  What follows are photos explaining things to look for to make the experience safe, fun and educational for all involved.  This includes a video at the end explaining this point.

Basically one should look for a mono ski that is easy to adjust for each individual, easy to maintain, easy to learn how to ski, affordable, safe and fun to ski.

We have chosen to use as an example the Yetti mono ski from Radventures Inc.  http://www.radventures-yetti.com  They have been producing their sit ski without many changes for years and it is being used by several adaptive sport and recreation programs.  This is only one example as there are several great program mono skis out there.













Mono skiing is a great way to get active during the winter months.  Feel free to comment on what you know makes are great program mono ski.
