Skiing on Mars.

I was thinking that maybe in the future humans could ski on the ice caps of mars in a space suit. It would be cool with lower gravity.

Pretty dumb idea now, but cool to imagine.

Mars has no liquid water only Ice, but I still thought skiing in space would be really cool, no matter where.

Just a silly idea hahaha.

if there are ice caps there is enough water for snow. but you raise a point i think without realizing it. i don't think the atmosphere of mars (if there even is one i don't feel like researching it) supports rain, therefore it wouldn't support snow. still a cool idea nonetheless

Yeah true east coast style!! And I didn't think of this before but if there is going to be a ski resort on mars they would have lifts and snow guns so it could work in theory. Would be a hell of an expensive lift ticket though...
