i bet you want to be a firefighter or like astronaut when you grow up huh?

you cant breathe the moon.  you cant even get to the moon.  and you certainly cant ski on the moon. theres not even any snow there.

Well, regolith (moon sand) is a pretty light and fine dust, but where the hell are there any hills?

1/6th of the gravity means you're a 1/6th slower coming down a hill and jumping, it'd be like slow-mo. I actually like earth gravity better.

So in actuality, there are many things wrong with trying to lunar ski.

theres a shitton of hills on the moon dude, the highest is like 18,000 feet or something (whatever it was, its higher than any in CO) and slow mo would help working on triples and shit. its going to be the next new zealand all the pros are gonna throw down there soon.

this man raises a good point.

but i think the tall tee steeze is easily replaced and surpassed by the space suit steeze

If your tall tee is as big as some of mine then it will easily fit over top of the suit if you really want it. good question though.

skiing on the moon is the wrong idea. what you really want is a motorized vehicle. namely, a moonbike. like a dirtbike, but on the moon. how sick would it be to gap from crater to crater? catching air would be unbelieveble. i don't think you would get going fast enough to hit escape velocity. it would also be mega dangerous. any bail and your suit is likely to rip and you would die.

moonbiking. the next level of gnar.
