I think I just stumbled upon the next revolution since "the local".

When I'm carrying my skis, 90% of the time I'm walking on surfaces like dirt and snow where that would be completely useless.

But I guess that would be good for walking to and from your multi-million dollar condo with heated sidewalks.

Did you see the twin tip attachment? I like how they just put regular skis backwards for that twin tip attachment Pic and couldn't get actual twin tips.

a buddy of mine is making a detuner tool that you just have to swipe 2-3 times and your ski is detuned!

It must be really depressing to think that you're going to get rich off a Kickstarter project for a pair of detachable ski wheels.

+K to the first person on here to get sponsored by these people.

Quit inventing useless shit like this, and start prototyping ski brakes that don't destroy themselves when skiing switch

Anyone down to invest in my kickstarted?

we have little boys that work as caddies to bring your skis to the mountain. Once in the lodge, they will make you a warm cup of hot chocolate, and fresh baked cookies.

Invest now for first 3 trips FREE!

that's dumb as fuck. If you can't handle a little walk to be able to ski you're just out of shape. Plus you'd look like ad idiot with those things, just like when people have handles that clamp onto their skis and make them easy to carry

maybe rich families at major resorts. It wont work in snow...
Maybe people havent learnt to tie their boots together and throw them around your backpack and put the skis on your shoulders. That ski tip was free

How has no one mentioned the fact that they are "discounting" them for kickstarter to $35 each?! That's probably $1 of material at most, if they can find even a smallish market of people with way too much money who go to resorts to "ski" an hour and hang out in the lodge they will make $$$$
