"Behind me is my friend Patrick and he's going to demonstrate how to use the walker ski. As you can tell, he can just start walking forward, holding onto the walker ski for extra balance and support. The skis glide easily over the snow so it's great to take anywhere. I prefer using it on trails that have a little more packed snow, just because it's easier to push if you get through some really deep snow. Depending on the participants, ability levels, and endurance levels, the more pact the snow is, the longer they can go, whereas deep, powdery snow might slow them down a bit. The walker ski, as you can tell, just can go anywhere, it's easy to hold on to, and just the extra security too. From a mindset is OK. This piece of equipment might give somebody that was a little leery before of enjoying the outdoors that might give them the extra motivation and safety net to try something new."
