This is an out-of-left-field question - or perhaps out-of-left-brain - but I watched some videos on “grass skiing” and wonder if it would be helpful, harmful, or neither for alpine snow skiing technique.
Examples (hope these links work)
I gather grass skis were invented in the 1960s as a summer training tool for alpine snow ski racing. Whether it is used for that purpose, or has become a micro-niche sport of its own, I’m not sure. I don’t think the sport is really present in the US any more (or ever was?)
