What do you think? What will the skis be like? what companies will still be in business, who will still be riding? Will we be teleported to the top of the hill instead of riding the lift up? Post your predictions.

twintips will be gay! its all about the quad tips in the future, skis that you can hit jumps with any way you want. of course since we will not have any edge to grip with everything will be flat and uber small so we wont die!

idk..i cant really see much more progression outside of 5 years... i have no idea, maybe double corks and double flips onto rails, smooth switch 1800's over 200ft gaps, corks and flips onto urban rails, huge urban drops and urban gaps that people are throwing switch 10s off of.??

indoor ski centers in cities because of the huge impact on the economy, and skis so fat they look like snowboards.

Park skiers will strap saucers to their feet so they can ride in every direction, and big mountain skiers will be riding 220's with 130mm waists......not! It's hard to say what will happen in the future, without hindsight progression is a lot harder to predict.

The human body has it's limits so there's not gonna be any 1800's or doubles into rails, but we will be indoors on our hover boards that can float up hill and ride downhill like normal. it's gonna be awesome though.. that all i know

50 years ago people never thought that something like chad's is possible just like now we don't think double flips onto rails are possible. The advancment in padding and medical care will let people do sicker shit

yah, that would be way sick to wear pads that would never let you get hurt. You could try anything and you would never break anything or die!

honestly... that takes the fun out of it man. Think, why do you get an adrenaline rush? Because you literally just tempted fate in some cases, not everyone can ski and not every is meant to ski and do this shit, thats why its amazing

No more skiing down here if global warming happens, everyone seems to be investing in ski mountains and developing them but then if this gloabl warming thing is for real then it seems a bit strange...

If we switch over to renewable energy for powering our houses and industries (don't worry you can still drive big truk), skiing will still be around, and its gonna be fucking sick, skis will probably be made from anti matter and you'll be able to do anything
