Snow Winging in Davos
Wingfoiling is a relatively new water sport that has evolved from windsurfing, kitesurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding. On the water, the rider stands on a board equipped with a hydrofoil (a type of underwater wing) and is propelled by a wing. The wing is an inflatable sail with a handlebar, similar to a large stunt kite. The rider holds onto the wing’s handle and uses it to control the ride.
In snow winging, we replace the board and hydrofoil with skis or a snowboard, and the liquid water with snow. Snow winging is much easier to learn than wingfoiling on the water, and a sense of achievement is quickly attained.
Snow winging is a perfect land-based training to learn or improve wing handling skills.
