A mono-ski frame adapted for skiing in the sitting position and designed to allow a rearward and downward traverse of the upper portion of the frame relative to the lower portion during loaded conditions to enhance the carvability during the turn. The mono-ski frame includes a lower frame having a forward end and a rearward end adapted to be attached to a ski. A foot rest is attached to the forward end of the lower frame. An upper frame having a seat mounted thereon is moveable relative to the lower frame via a first link arm. The first link arm is pivotally attached at a first position to the lower frame and at a second position to the upper frame, wherein the first position is located forwardly of the second position so that the seat attached to the upper frame travels in a rearward direction under loaded conditions. A shock absorber adapted to minimize the transfer of vibration between the lower frame and the upper frame is coupled between the upper and lower frames and includes a piston assembly and a spring coupled to the piston assembly for biasing the piston assembly toward an extended uncompressed position.
