 Would it be possible to ski on dry ice? Because that would be kindof epic, like instead of powder you'd have mist. probly be kinda slippery though

im gonna say no.... do to the fact that skiing on snow.. you melt some of it to water and you slide on the water.... i believe that CO 2 does not have a liquid sate and is very very very cold...... i imagine.. if you hopped on a slab of dry ice. with skis.. your skis would freeze and probably start to come apart.

sorry to be buzz kill.

dry ice goes through sublimation, it goes straight from solid to gas. and dry ice burns you if you touch it for too long, just like something hot.

yes but at a very cold temp. so when you ski on it it wouldnt melt.
and the answer to this question is no. its just too cold, so the moment your bases touch or you attempt to slide, it would freeze to any moisture on your skis immedieatly and your skis would just be attached to it

yeah.  co2 liquid state has to be under extreme pressures...  and skis bases pressing down on it probably will not cut it.!
