Keep Driving that SUV and This is How Skiing Will Look in a Few Years

By Rocky Thompson on December 31st, 2008

A store in Dublin promises that you’ll become a “competent skier” in 12 hours of lessons on their gigantic treadmill ski slope. Hopefully there’s a section where they talk about not pushing people off the traverse. The ski treadmill might actually be fun if it would shoot you off the back into a padded Velcro wall that would catch your body and ski equipment. I bet the view from the summit isn’t quite as inspiring as most ski hills.

   There s a place called Virtual Snow in Santa Monica. They call it ski training, not skiing because it isn t skiing. It takes place on carpeting on giant rollers. It s really lame.
