re: #163 A Cranky One

I suspect that the extremely low gravity might make skiing a tad difficult, even if you had warm enough clothes.

On the other hand, getting to the top of the mountains might be a bit easier than on earth. ;)

Lower gravity means slower descent and falling rates, so hitting 60 mph on a run would take quite a bit longer. On the other hand, there’d be no air resistance.

Plus, the “snow” is probably not water ice, but frozen gases like nitrogen and methane, so waxing your skis would be tricky.

But you’d have 10 years on the way out to think about this stuff, and another 10 on the way home. Plenty of time to embellish your ski stories. ;-)
