E-Skimo - Stoke your outrage, Prepare your gatekeeping.

I’ll buy one if swissiphic engineers it entirely out of high density plastic cutting boards

it would more likely be milk crates liberated form behind the 7-11 and a hot glue gun

On their site, I just saw a video clip with a cut every second, so you can't tell whether it's working, but as a bonus you get a seizure.

Why don't any of these geniuses invent something useful, like electro-chemically altered kick wax with an app to control the electric potential, so if the temp changes I would just have to click something on my iphone to get proper kick and glide on rolling or low-angle terrain.

I literally couldn't tell how that system works in the slightest, but yeah, good thing I don't have epilepsy.

pathetic.

You are correct. It looks like a solution in search of a problem.

So what will be the skintrack etiquette?

If these were faster and more powerful I'd mount my bindings backwards and as I overtook you all climbing, in my own track while facing you backwards, I'd take a deep drag from a cigarette and blow you the finger, and mutter something intelligible in french. That would be proper etiquette with these things.

Also going in circles a few times around people as they skin up before I head to the top seems appropriate. A bluetooth speaker blaring needs to be carabinered to my pack too I think.

Well whatever. A version of this is absolutely coming soon.

Maybe something portable with a light weight ski length treaded track skin powered by a state of the art Tesla battery in a carbon housing that can easily be stowed in an airbag pack on the downhill. Maybe a the track can be controlled by two carbon idler wheels. Esch e-skin should weigh no more than 900g with mechanics and track.

All this faffing around with strapping tracks to skis is never gonna work. Just give me an AI equipped snowmobile that can drive itself back to bottom of the run and pick me up.
