Totally depends on what bindings you have. Some will not work at all, but others can get a pretty firm boot grip. The heel is always pretty loose, so you have to ski pretty backseat. You can ski pistes pretty well and it's quite funny bombing past people with your skis on back to front. I wouldn't advise hitting park, bumps or pow though for obvious reasons.

Reminds me of the park staff at my hill who mounted a pair of carving skis backwards to be switch carving skis. They also mounted two sets of bindings on a pair of skis for tandem skiing.
