Good times...

And what about the little wheels you could attach to the ends of your
skis so you could roll them? I can't remember the cutesy name, but
every once in a while when I'm really tired I think that maybe that
wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Ski-daddle! The human mind is a wonderful thing.

A couple of years ago when I was in my campaign to ski every area near Lake Tahoe, I rode up on a chair with a guy who had some unusually short skis with a see-through top layer and what looked like ball bearings in a thick fluid that squished around as he moved them. I am sure he told me all about them*, but I can't remember anything he said.
