So i was at the mountain yesterday and saw this dud rippin on a monoski mounted like a snowboard. I think he was wearing ski boots. But the weirdest part of the whole setup was that i think he had telemark bindings, but instead of the heel lifting up the whole binding swivelled. Can anybody tel me wtf i watched???? thanks.

the board was shaped like a monoski but mounted like one of tose waterskis with two bindings, but the bindings seemed to be mounted at a 45 ish degree anglethey seemed to swivel so he could link turns better. Anyways, the dude was insanely fast on them.

Sounds like a hard boot setup almost? I’m curious too maybe @theabortionator knows what this is
Alpine board setup for racing/carving. It's narrower than a regular snowboard and you run both bindings heavily forward and use hardboots. Similar vibes to slalom waterskiing.
As far as swiveling it probably just looked like they swiveled because they were pointed so far forward.

Back in the day at Snowbird there was a group of people who did have a set-up as you described with tele-bindings and all. I managed to get them to let me try it, but I couldn’t make it from the bypass road to the deck, so I went back to my skis.
OP teleboards do exist. I haven't seen one in the wild but people have photos and someone even wrote a wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleboard
Maybe this is what you saw or maybe something even different. Lots of ways to get down for sure

I've never seen one. Can't see any advantage just a lot of sketchiness. Sled dogs make more sense than that. At least a carving board you can rip some fat turns and go fast.
Idk. That thing looks like death, would be interesting to see one in real life though
yeah but as borty pointed out it was a race board. I probably am wrong about the swivel
