What if I put Crab Grab rails on my skis

This is a Crab Grab rail:
You stick it near the edges (rails?) of your snowboard between your feet (or wherever you like I guess) so that you can grip/tweak the board more easily.
Is there any practical way that this (or other snowboard grip pads) could be used on skis?

i don't think so, apart from looking really out of place and kinda sore on the eyes, not sure there's any practical use for them on skis

you could just try it tho

I feel like a ski is a pretty small surface area to grab at vs a snowboard, you can get your hand around the ski edge pretty easily, I dont think they'd serve any purpose as most park tips/tails aren't too much wider than 100mm
