Only for powder. I think it would be extreamly fun to be floating 2 feet over powder.

what if you hit a rock? it would have to be some deep powder for it to work well.

Hydrofoils require water and extreme speeds, do they not?

you wouldnt go anywhere. behind a boat you are being pulled but in snow you would need lots of speed, steep hill, no rocks, and insane balance because snow wouldnt be very stable

notice how on a water ski hydrofoil they are bing pulled by a boat, gravity wont pull you up on snow in a hydrofoil you need speed to lift you up. would never work.
