Best powder ski youll ever buy

i think everybody on ns should look into buying one.  its called a mono ski.  if you live out west you might have seen one but theyre very rare.   basically its a snowboard but you stand on it like your on skis.  that might sound a little confusing so heres a picture:

this is an older one.  it might look pretty hard to learn but if your a great skier it shouldnt be hard.  i learned to ski one in a day.  once you learn to use it well its the only thing youll want to use in powder (unless your throwing 360s).  anybody who loves to ride powder should atleast rent one.

He means a monoski that can divide into two pieces, so he can throw skins and AT bindings on it to tour with. Try touring with a single ski, doesn't happen.

I think he means split as in it splits so you can put skins on it and tour. And I seem to remember someone talking about something like that before, I dunno if it exists or not.

you probably have a better chance seeing a monoski in the midwest than out west (unless it is a gaper day)

little hills with nearly no vert are breeding grounds for skiblades, monoskis, and other contraptions

growing up in wisco i used to see them all the time.

if you can rip on a monoski, then i give you props, it's tough, but they are still silly looking.
