Hello - I recently puirchased a used Grove mono ski (sit ski) and the bucket is too small. If anyone has a 15 inch wide seat, I would like to buy or trade you for it. Thanks - Gregg Macey 607-748-0174

I would look into getting a seat from aspen seating, they are personally molded so the fit is amazing! A little pricey but worth it.

How much are you looking to get for it? I'm currently using the equipment from the mountain I work at but don't have my own. My e-mail address is Kwilson1@vailresorts.com if you want to e-mail me more details :-)

If you can afford an aspen seating seat you can probably afford to buy a new Mono Ski and sell on the old one, the price would be about the same (or most probably cheaper from what I've heard). Unless you're a racer the fit provided by aspen seating really isn't worth the money.

Agreed!

Have you contacted the guy from sitski.com? Maybe try calling up different adaptive programs and see if they have any spares lying around unused that they want to sell off. My ski is the Freedom Factory RPC SS and I believe that Freedom Factory sells buckets. You might give them a try.
