Most likely, I know people do them on bikes, skateboards, and rollerblades. Most likely other stuff too. Why not skiing/boarding? Its not as crazy as some other shit people do.

This idea seems like something the traveling circus would do.

JP Auclair and Tony B did a snow loop in like 2002. But a box loop... that's some LJ shit.

WHAT ABOUT:

A C-shaped rail to quarter-pipe landing? So it's kindof like a loop but with a vertical gap. YES? YES? YES?

So many gapers would die lol

Actually I see issues with a loop being made out of a surface where you have no edge control...

the loop would have to be pretty large so that the skis could 50-50 the whole thing without becoming too bent at any point. as a result, it would require an ass-load of speed. That's crazy shit

What if the curve of the box made your skis pop at the apex, when you are perfectly vertical....

what if you slide off the side of the box at the vertical point and just go straight up?

i dont think you could stay on it by 50 50ing, loops arent straight, youd have to slide it sideways to be able to lock on
