The answer is no.

Nevertheless, new way for powder skiing, try teleboarding,

If there were to be any form of snowboarding I
might try, this would be it. I like the stance
looking down the hill, the shape to the board and
THE USE OF POLES.

I don't care for what looks like there would be
some lesser amount of edge available than with
my two skis. and then...

a) I've been aware of teleboards since about 1998.

b) That guy stole my jacket. See other pics you took.

It might be really neat for powder and RealSnow(tm).
I also like the fairly narrow width of the board.
These things are so unlike monoskis which are
usually tapered from shovel to tail with little
or now side cut. The teleboards are turned up at
both ends and have a fair amount of sidecut.
