A monoski system includes a single ski having a conventional ski binding secured thereto and a boot receiver rearwardly of the ski binding. The boot receiver loosely receives the footwear of the skier and includes a boot supporting platform and a tapered section positioning the skier\s rear boot in a forwardly inclined position. In one embodiment, the boot supporting platform is angularly adjustable about an upright axis to position the skier\s rear boot at a small acute angle relative to the direction of intended travel. The inclination of the boot is adjustable by changing the tapered section.
