A new era of summer skiing?! ... Probably not, but it was a fun time for everyone, and it worked pretty well... except for it being 80 degrees and having to pull that thing back....enjoy!

seems fun but un-neccasary work and would have to wait a while to go each time when a drop in would be easy and fast.

nice idea though

what if you set up some kind of pulley system from the drop in area.  like tie a long rope to the end of it that feeds through a pulley.  it would make pulling it back quicker and easier. it might get annoying with a bunch of rope trailing behind you, but it makes sense in my head.

I've been thinking about this because I need my setup to be portable. Maybe use a winch or something to make it less tiring?

how is this innovative?

You bought and used a widely known product for its intended purpose... Am I missing something?

well i don't think it was intended to pull skiers across grass exactly...

this was super fun though! with a few extra people pulling we could go even faster, so i'm thinking summer jump sometime soon in the future...?
