JQ Dancing on the edge Quite a few years ago (1991), a local inventor came up with a contraption like described above. A board on top of a pair of skis which did various desirable things when you shifted your weight on the board. No thether, but a brake which actually worked. I saw one for rent at Mt. Baker two years ago. |

Is the snow condition worth a 7-8 hour drive up? JQ Dancing on the edge |

There are still a few around here at Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly, even ride the lift up with a "girl" once. They ride like a skateboarder, and they are getting better each time I see them, even got some bigger board and doing tricks in the terrain park too, guess that they start to get the bugs out, but I think that they are also suffering the shortfall like the skiing counter part--ski-blade--they are just a bit too light weight for the mountains, imo.
