You have to be kidding! The last thing I want behind me when I\'m skiing is a little monster ready to run up my leg when I fall down. Can I be the only person who has this thought?

Let\'s see these things work in deep, light powder. And, since it looks like the ski tips go under the snow a bunch, what is to keep that little contraption from running over you if you catch a branch going into the back country. And I think that the folks deep in the backcountry on split- and tele-boards would HATE people who used these things. And what about steep traverses? And do I have to hike back up to get it if I want to bomb down a chute and ski out?
This might work in the flat-lands, but it sounds like a $2.5k hassle for real mountains.

I am not sure I want anything with spiked treads PUSHING me anywhere.

Can\'t wait to have one of these drive over my back side after a wipeout! That won\'t hurt at all...

I think this could be good for search and rescue.

Luddite that was the best video ever!! People look like douches riding these things, and even BIGGER douches falling hahaha! Rescue wouldn\'t be hard, thouh. Just backtrack the path from the Skizee and eventually you\'ll see the person face down and their jacket torn up where the device ran over them :)

I\'m no skier but the previous concerns seem perfectly logical to me. Seems extremely limited in it\'s practicality and safety. Did the inventors do any kind of skier survey as to how many would buy and use this, if available? Did they themselves think about such possible drawbacks? Hope they have good liablility coverage. They\'ll need it.

Push, instead of pulling? Probably because you\'ll add more weight to the tracks. If it has a safety stop ie. some circular saws, wouldn\'t that remedy the problem?

Has applications for accessing back country ridge top ski trails for sunset and home again before dark. I would want to use it like a team of dogs. Being pulled rather than pushed.

Just what if...you run out of gas before you get back home or the thing breaks down way-the-Hell-and-gone. How do you haul it back?
