experience. It also allows access to all ski lifts. Equipped with bindings, SNOOC skis take you wherever you want to go.

3 What is it? A mean 2 in 1 machine! The SNOOC is the first device that combines cross-country skiing with a descent that is fun for all those without any skiing experience. It also allows access to all ski lifts. Equipped with bindings, SNOOC skis take you wherever you want to go. Hike up mountains using the sealskins, or just take the station ski lift. Close to the ground, ride and discover the feelings of speed. Enjoy the comfort offered by its ergonomically curved seat and carbon fiber shock absorber. 3

4 The SNOOC, what s the story? The SNOOC, by Cyril! It was in 2007 while Cyril was searching for a way to share his passion for the mountains with his non skier friends, that he discovered an ancestral Haute Savoie activity : the Paret. In 2015, he created the SNOOC; a compact, comfortable, manoeuvrable and lightweight equipment! Launched for use at the resorts of Serre Chevalier and Le Grand Bornand, today the Snooc is permitted at about hundred different ski stations from all over the globe (China, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, France). What else can it do for me? Whatever your skill level or your age, you'll enjoy riding this sled through dreamy snow landscapes. The SNOOC is the "Stand up Paddle" of the mountain. It renders the natural beauty of the mountain slopes, and skiing down them, more accessible for everyone. Big and small, experts and beginners, with friends or with family, you'll share in the fun and the excitement, and in complete safety. 4

How does it work? Going uphill, nothing could be simpler!

snow. If you don't fancy excercise, you can use the ski lifts at one of more than hundred ski stations.

* Sit back and settle in for a fun filled ride back down the mountain.

5 How does it work? Going uphill, nothing could be simpler! Equipped with simple walking or after-ski boots; you can comfortably march uphill by simply sliding the skis over the snow. If you don't fancy excercise, you can use the ski lifts at one of more than hundred ski stations. Once at the top, the transformation takes less than 3 min!* Sit back and settle in for a fun filled ride back down the mountain. Stack the skis and set up the seat and its suspension. Seated at just 20 cm from the ground, you have nothing to fear from falling off. Spills are all part of the thrills! On video *No tools are needed for the transformation. Now it s your turn!! 5

A sustainable touristic activity The Snooc is part of an evolution of sports practices turning to contact with nature, and the outdoors (Cf: Stand Up Paddle, trail running...).

9 A sustainable touristic activity The Snooc is part of an evolution of sports practices turning to contact with nature, and the outdoors (Cf: Stand Up Paddle, trail running...). The Snooc is helping to bring new customers to the joys of skiing. It becomes perfectly integrated into the diversification strategy of a resort. For high altitude resorts, the Snooc allows diversification of services, to follow societal trends by offering a gentler activity with a low environmental impact..the implementation of the activity does not demand infrastructure and existing spaces are ideal. The low investment it represents allows these resorts to continue to offer a snowfield activity during periods of uncertain snowfall. The Snooc allows ski stations at lower altitudes, often under strong pressure from changing climatic conditions, to offer a tourist activity suitable for a wide range of skiers, including occasional skiers and non-skiers. 9

Philippe JANIN, Ski run manager les Arcs / Peisey Vallandry If the Stand up paddle was a development in the practice of water sports, it is very likely that évoluer the Snooc will be a development in those of mountain sports. Remi FORSAN, Director Outdoor Sport Valley The SNOOC allows children to explore the snowy mountain. This is a great initiation, and it assures a pleasurable cross country ski hike for a group of children. Jean Philippe GRENIER, ski instructor passionate about teaching in the association FUN GLISSE I recommend it to those who enjoy walking in snowshoes in the winter but seeking sensations downhill. For those who want to have fun and have a good time with family or friends. Damien BOUJARD, Early adopter I do not know any other equipment which allows an approach that is both playful and easy. What is certain is that the world has turned to winter sports. They can't wait to get back to it... and neither can we! Guillaume VERT, cross-country I recommend the Snooc to all those who think that the cross country skiing is inaccessible. Fun and easy, you can leave the ski runs and the crowd behind. You can go down easy, or you can down like a bat out of hell. A beautiful invention. Adeline MELOT; 39 y.o, Mother of three sporty boys. 10
