In many parts of the northern hemisphere, now’s the best time to hit the ski slopes for an exhilarating time. However, as it would turn out, the ability to go skiing is very much dependent on the weather, as well as the condition of the snow at any given time. Now, what if I told you that you didn’t actually need snow in order to Ski? I’m sure you’d say I was crazy, but this innovation from a company called Skwheel just might prove you wrong.
The Skwheel One, dubbed as the “World’s First Electric Ski,” is a portmanteau of the words “Ski” and “Wheel,” and the way it works is pretty much exactly how you think it would. The French company has created a promising prototype that hopes to make skiing accessible to people all year round, and even in places where it doesn’t snow to begin with.
