Has any-one seen this done at resorts. The skier must have tremendous strength, sometimes the raft comes down so fast the skier has to get alongside it, and then to the front of it to steer it and get it to stop. Great fun

Yes that one was in Seefeld. A snowmobile pulls the raft with the people in, with the skier on the back, then unclips the raft at the top and the skier guides it down. Its fast and very bumpy but great fun
Those tracks would confuse a lot of people the next day!
That looks amazing, great fun. Bet your travel insurance dont cover that :lol:
So are you milling around Trencher until the big freeze judging by your avatar.

I first saw it done in Seefeld Rose,But that was done on a bungee.
I might have to try it out over here if we ever get some snow with our RIB.
