2 friends and myself ski monoski and have done since we were younger than 10 yrs old. We are trying this. Yesterday we tried on 2 skis. Is it easier on one ski if you are used to it? Also how does the man get up? does he climb up both peoples back (btw talking about a 3 man pyramid) having started skiing in the middle, or does he start on one side and climb up one guys side, like on his knees. also are rope lengths vital? thanks
@higglu2008 post your email and I'll send you some build pics of a 3 man. Tough to explain, but the climber is in the middle. He kicks off the ski after stepping up on the thigh of the bottom man who is squatted down. He works his way up from there. We use double handle ropes to help hold things together. The bottom guys share handles in the middle. The top rope needs to be 12-18 inches longer.
Our family started doing this years ago, and they were more comfortable on slalom because that is what they were used to. If you were actually doing a ski show, it would end way to quickly at 30 mph!

Slalom on bottom makes a fast pyramid!

Thanks. Yes, that's an '81 Stars and Stripes. Plenty of power to deep water start all those slalom skiers!
