Everyone loves to ride, but no one likes to wait. So what would you give to be able to charge for hours without ever using a lift?
The creative lunatics at Ski-Trac are working to make this insanity a reality by constructing a giant rotating piste, covered in snow, which ‘floats on an electro-magnetic field’ according to their website.
This means you can ride down hill without a lift queue in site – if you need a break, simply sit down and the hill itself will take you right back to the top.
At top speed you could cover 19 miles every hour on the 50 meter wide Ski-Trac piste. The slope design also features a snow park with half-pipe and a 250 meter mountain run with moguls and drops.
The Ski-Trac system has not been constructed yet, but with sites confirmed in Cairo, Egypt and Badaling, China, this ludicrously brilliant concept might soon be built (you can check out all the design gubbins here).
