It can be very impressive to watch skillful skiers and snowboarders, but what if you do not want to just stay a viewer? You can always try to learn, of course, but what if you just "don't got it"? Playing with the snow is something simple and natural for people and some athletes-instructors decided that all sports in the snow should be just as easy.
If you are getting ready for an excursion at the snowy Troodos and do not want to stay once again on the side, drooling over the skiers or trying to slide on a plastic bag (which will become garbage a few minutes later), keep reading. These 2 revolutionary ideas below will give you wings of confidence and - possibly - the ticket to the most fun trip in the snow.
Sled Dogs Snowskates
The reason Michael Rivers and V1 Fitness became the official representative for Norwegian snowskate, is that, unlike traditional skiing and snowboarding, Sled Dogs Snowskates offer same day skiing fun for all.
The idea is to have nothing extra to drag around while sliding through the slope. Experts promise that if you have ever ice skated or can inline skate, then you will master these Dogs in just a couple of hours. Classes and equipment can be found both in Limassol and on Troodos (check out here).
Sled legs
Sled Legs are simple. Simple in the way anyone can pick up a pair and master them on their first run. Sled Legs give the exhilaration of going fast, the ability to carve and the freedom to launch off a jump without worrying if you will lose your gear when you land.
The low center of gravity makes it harder to catch an edge, but the highly engineered sleds allow you to apply edge pressure to quickly turn and carve. When you reach the bottom, just stand up and run back to the top. Nothing to clip-into or lug around, you simply have a fantastic time. The product was designed in the US and is available online (check here).
