Abstract
A self-propelled unit (3), usable by a skier for moving along a rising snow path, comprises a frame (7), rolling structure (12) for the movement of the self-propelled unit (3) along the snow, an engine (20) for driving the rolling structure (12), a transmission (21, 25) which connects the engine (20) to the rolling structure (12), and a control (4) for the engine (20). The self-propelled unit (3) is of such dimensions and weight as to be portable. It is also provided with structure (14 and 34) for the releasable connection of the frame to the skis (2) and sticks (37) of the skier. This connection (14 and 34) is configured in such a manner that a large part of the weight of the skier acts on the self-propelled unit.
