Converting skis into a temporary seat

[Tiley]

Brilliant! I have a feeling that I might have to do a bit of 'transatlantic' shopping. the only problem are the swinging addition of VAT and duty that we suffer, here in the U.K.. Still...

Great to hear that a good idea is still alive and well.

Good to see it’s still available and kept going John

A bundeswehr sleeping pad makes a good sit mat and you can unfold it to any length up to just over body length if you like, could get a couple of other people on with ya too

good call, we’ve already got some of the foldable sit mats to make it slightly less bum freezy

They are called "trail chairs" in this day and time. Quite a selection at Recreation Equipment Inc., in Seattle, WA.
You put your skiis down and the chair goes on that.
You Heliski for $10,000+ per week here. Good week and you will get 100,000 vertical feet of 6-10' pure powder.
Damn difficult to sit in that for any reason. Are you as fit for powder skiing as you thought you were?

Mark & Regina Aubrey run Crescent Spur Heliski, about 40 miles from my place.
Sorry I don't have a link. Quick Google and you can get the idea of resting once in a while!

I don't think that Rich is talking about that kind of "off piste" skiing...

So you can have a cup of coffee (with a shot in it) and a bite to eat, with the kids - without having to pay the prices in the 3 valleys. Plus when off piste would be handy whilst having Lunch. I can’t find the seats anywhere - not even what they’re called they seem to have completely disappeared. Suggests they weren’t very good.

Mention of "the 3 valleys" makes me think he means the French Alps.

I would probably not bother with any kind of chair or seat. I'd have food and drink break standing.

Or if I think I might really need a sit down, I'd take a mylar survival blanket and either an inflatable cushion or a square cut from a kip mat.

Here, that's "Three Ranges," a good brewery some 90 miles east of me where 3 ranges of mountians come together.
Our powder snow is too soft and too deep to sit in.
Our packed snow and the slope angle makes it a little too slippery.
Do you have "Crazy Carpets" to slide on?
