The sound of the skis going over rocks was like nails on a chalk board, but that was a raucous ride! I’m actually stunned that the skis took that abuse.

I havent skied in 20 years but I had a weird dream about this exact thing a few months ago. Strange. Anyways I think what you want is super dry grass and not wet grass for skis. Or as crazy as its is just use the rocky paths. Sure the skis will be toast after but i dont think this video was done trying to preserve the skis.

@riseandalpine 24 күн бұрын

So random you had a dream about this. Grass works better than rocks, I can tell you that from experience hahaha. Wet or dry grass are about even. It's all about the slope angle and momentum
