Advice

Some good advice to start off with:

ON DESCENT, Yooner users should never be attached to the Yooner via the strap. In the event the user falls, the Yooner will stop immediately.

Position
Sit with the handle between your legs.
Keeping your legs slightly apart and your feet flat on the snow will enable you to restabilize yourself and manage your speed.
Keep your arms bent and your body at the base of the Yooner.

Turning
This is an exercise which will help users acquire good reflexes for the first 100 metres of use:
In a sitting position on the Yooner, glide down the slope without holding the handle. As soon as you can, make small windscreen wiper movements with your arms so that both hands go in the direction in which you wish to turn as if you are going to touch the snow.
The effect of this movement is that it makes you turn your shoulders and then the Yooner, so that the Yooner does not get trapped under your bottom.
Repeat this operation several times whilst carrying out small turns, always remembering to look towards the inside of the turn and not towards the slope.
This operation is necessary initially in order to get a clear understanding that it is the body that turns the Yooner and not the handle.
Once this stage has been mastered, users will naturally place one hand on the handle then hold out the opposite arm when they want to turn.
Hold out the left arm (until touching the snow) to turn left; hold out the right arm to turn right (until touching the snow).

Straight line
In order to glide in a straight line and on the flat for as long as possible, it is possible to let go of the handle with both hands, put your hands behind you and let them slide on the snow.
This position allows you to use your hands to restabilize yourself, particularly as your feet are usually raised so that you don't slow yourself down.

Braking
For beginners, or in order to brake in a straight line, hold the handle firmly whilst pushing your feet down. This will have the effect of pushing the braking mechanism into the snow.
The most efficient braking technique is that of skidding. You start a turn which you end by skidding perpendicularly to the slope, much the same as in skiing.

Specific precautions for using your Yooner on the chairlift

Before boarding:
Put the obligatory strap in place!
You must be attached to the Yooner via the strap (leash) in order to avoid any risk of the device falling off the chairlift during ascent. This strap is placed around the user's waist and attached to the Yooner. 

Boarding:
Place one hand on the foot of the Yooner's handle (the top of the handle will then be against your shoulder) and hold the seat with the other hand (behind the Yooner). The Yooner ski will lie flat on the user's knees. This position avoids any risk of bumping when the seat arrives and the bar is lowered.

Landing :
Yooner users are similar to pedestrians carrying hand luggage. They walk straight off as quickly as possible on landing, leaving the arrival platform free for skiers.
