A new era of summer skiing?! ... Probably not, but it was a fun time for everyone, and it worked pretty well... except for it being 80 degrees and having to pull that thing back....enjoy!

seems fun but un-neccasary work and would have to wait a while to go each time when a drop in would be easy and fast.

nice idea though
 
thats sick got me thinking could you maybe build a slingshot device with poles on either sides of your setup? maybe your friends would be less tired
 
what if you set up some kind of pulley system from the drop in area. like tie a long rope to the end of it that feeds through a pulley. it would make pulling it back quicker and easier. it might get annoying with a bunch of rope trailing behind you, but it makes sense in my head.
 
I've been thinking about this because I need my setup to be portable. Maybe use a winch or something to make it less tiring?

 
how is this innovative?

You bought and used a widely known product for its intended purpose... Am I missing something?
 
well i don't think it was intended to pull skiers across grass exactly...
this was super fun though! with a few extra people pulling we could go even faster, so i'm thinking summer jump sometime soon in the future...?
