SLAO and Airboard in Sweden


Morning - I emailed every ski slope in Sweden to see if it was possible to use the airboard on the pistes. I even set up www.airboard.se . They all said NO. This is because the SLAO (ski association of Sweden) reckons they are dangerous to mingle with Ski's and Snowboards, and simply regards them as toboggans. They are not toboggans. They are airboards, and they are brilliant. You can actually control them. In fact my level of skiing is so bad, that I am a lot less dangerous to people when flying down a hill on an airboard.
