Skiing on frost: is it possible?

[treesmann]

i have a frost advisory for tomorrow morning. if i go to a steep hill will it work?

 

[scratchman]

i was tempted to try it this morning...i bet it would

 

[treesmann]

if u live in minnesota, havent u gotten snow?

 

[scratchman]

yea but nothing stayed on the ground....snowed like hell for a bit but nothing to ski on

 

[Ski_Unit_19]

yes it is possible. i have done it

 

[freestyledork]

just fly over to michigan we have snow

 

[FUUUCK]

hahahahaha desperate much?

 

[gregor]

Ive done it too its really good fun. You need to find a field on a slope with quite long grass. (6 to 12 inches?) The depth of the grass combined with the frost makes it quite soft and skiable.

 

[cofreeskier]

Yeah it probably does because its slippery

 

[nickmcnutt]

it works

 

[lyndon]

thompson..like 2 hrs form my home has 4 feet....and im in ontario..

 

[treesmann]

im gonna try it if i can get up early enough tomorrow morning and if theres enough frost

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

sketchy, but sounds like a challenge to me...

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

how does that work?

 

[AKoblitz]

i've never done it...but i'd imagine it would work...but i could also imagine feeling like a tool while doing it

 

[Barmski]

its been down for sure. i saw an article a fews ago in skiing mag. sick shit the guy was like a pro "frost skier" crazy shit. it was like doin lines and shit and talkin about how important wax is.

:| HUH? theres no way somewhere in ontario has friggen 4 feet of snow.. i like in toronto and we got like 5 min of flurries and that was all

if you can ski on sand i think you can ski on frost

 

[ATLskier]

ive skied on grass that doens't have frost.

 

[titsLOL]

Yea I've skied on wet grass so frost should be good. Tons of leaves work good too.

 

[MarkieR]

holy impatience batman! just wait for the snow, it's not that far away.

 

[*snowman*]

haha, batman^^

 

[treesmann]

dammit there was no frost at my house, but in a nearby valley there was

 

[Eastrider]

it depends on how much frost there is, if its only a little then it probably won't work but it its a huge frost then it will definetly work

 

[billy092]

not in ontario, "2 hrs away" ---meaning buffalo, use ur noggin

 

[thejackal1177]

works great

 

[KillerMonkey]

def possible but a setback is that u usually have to do it early in the morning. I dont want to wake up at 7 to freeze my balls off trying to ski on some frost. Maybe Ill jsut set up the rail in the morn and wake up just to catch a few runs. ill put my ski clothes on the night before so its easier

 

[Andre.B]

iv done it, no where near as good as snow tho lol
