    If you don't know what to do between skiing and sledding, there is a new form of sliding which is a mixture of these two activities:...

    You are sitting 20 centimeters above the ground on a skate, your feet touch the snow to help the direction while your hands are stuck to the handle to brake the machine (by traction). 
    Slide on the slopes easily, have even stronger and more surprising sensations, all with a very short learning curve... Its fun and easy to use side allows you to master it totally in one descent.
    The yooner is light, easy to handle, equipped with a shock absorber for more comfort and a skate allowing you to "cut curves" as in skiing.
    Try it, fun guaranteed!
