All I can say is wow! What an experience and a joy to ride. The Sno-Go helped me accomplish my mission of getting back on the mountain carving up the slopes after an unexpected 12 yr hiatus. I lost my leg above the knee due to Cancer and with it the ability to carve up that fresh snow I so very much loved to do.
After doing some research online in my quest to get back on the slopes I came across the Sno-Go. I watched every video I could find to study and determine if I thought it was possible to ski with my Prostetic knee on.
So I reached out to Dave Beerman at Latitude Sports and asked if it was possible to ride the Sno-Go with my Prostetic. He responded with a resounding yes and he was willing to help me get back on the slopes by working with me and giving me lessons on the Sno-Go. We met up at Winter Park where Dave did a great job of going over everything on the Sno-Go and walking me through the riding stance as well as loading and unloading from the chairlifts.
After a quick intro we were off on the lift and heading toward some beginner runs. Dave demoed the turning mechanics as well as stopping. At this point I got to try some small turns and to my surprise it was more like skiing than I even imagined and in a way I thought it was easier than learning to ski with traditional gear. Within a couple runs down some greens I felt very confident in my ability on the Sno-Go and wanted to challenge myself by stepping up to some blues. This was not a problem with my Prostetic and the Sno-Go. In fact later that day I was able to meet up with my buddies and ski right along side them which was a great feeling.
I had a strong feeling the Sno-Go was going to help me ski again and that I would finally get back to enjoying it. I never could have imagined it being so easy to get back on the Slopes and Dave helped me accomplish my goal along with the Sno-Go. Thanks Dave this has truly changed my life.
