Eretic

An Eretic snow scooter is a hybrid of a stunt scooter and a snowboard. It replaces wheels with a single ski and uses a handlebar and deck so riders can perform tricks on snow.

Riders as young as eight can enjoy snow scooters, provided they have good balance and wear appropriate winter gear. Adjustable handlebars make them suitable for adults too.

No. If you’re comfortable on a scooter or skateboard, you’ll adapt quickly. Basic snowboarding skills help when carving and stopping, but it’s easy to learn.

Use them on groomed slopes or snow parks. Some resorts allow snow scooters; always check local rules. Avoid icy or overly steep terrain until you’re more experienced.

Use the back foot to brake by dragging it on the snow, or carve gently across the slope to reduce speed. Practice slowing down on gentle slopes before tackling steeper runs.

Wear a helmet, goggles, gloves and warm clothing. Knee pads and wrist guards add extra protection for falls.

Wipe down the ski to remove moisture after use and store it in a dry place. Check bolts and bindings before each session to ensure everything is secure.
