Norwegian startup has apparently developed a turbofan propulsion system for skiers. Their vid:
Product name: "ThrustMe". Uh..., hmmm.
I checked their website ( http://www.thrustme.no/ ) & the specs say the current setup provides 15-30min of propulsion and battery recharge @ 6hrs.
The vid looks cool. I'd probably get irritated by the extra bulk and weight. BUT: to be able to ski uphill - THAT would be a cool experience for a while.
Things could get real interesting using this thing on 12"+ of blower pow.
