Likewise, the slopes were not crowded, making it easy for everyone to go at their own pace. The ski school at Silver Creek is exceptional. First time skiers' specialty classes include those for women and for folks over 50 years of age. Instructors were very personable and knowledgeable. If you haven't tried this newfangled ski, shaped wide at both ends and narrow under the foot, you owe it to yourself to take a lesson, even if you've shied away from regular skking.
Parabolic skis are easier on the knees and take less endurance than regular old fashioned skis.
They also make it much easier to stay in control, as you can easily turn yourself up the hill. I felt more comfortable with parabolic skis than I had ever felt in all my previous years of skiing. The bike body has two skis under it and handle bars that turn. In addition, there are two small skis attached to the rider's feet, so the rider sits on the bike, balanced with two feet on the ground. All you do at that point is point yourself down the mountain and steer.
