These are what I am riding on these days. 84mm wheels. I will probably jump up to 90mm on my next pair.
Skating on these is basically ice skating on asphalt. So far I can skate 17 laps around a regulation size track and field ring. I know I can do more, but I am usually pretty darn spent at 17. Such fantastic exercise though.
I have never skied before though. My brother does in Colorado, so maybe I will get try that one day.
Like ice skating huh? Let me see you do a two footed hockey stop.
My instinct for stopping on those things would see me doing a high side header. I ride two wheels at speed on asphalt, but I have some serious disc brakes; I have nightmares about doing a high side on two wheels.
I’ll stick to blades,mode or narrow, on the feet. Go see your brother and get on skis.mmgood times and a good workout.

There is no place quite like the top of a mountain, particularly if it’s snowing and quiet. Always makes me feel like a bird and so close to God.
Suggest you take lessons from a pro first though and stick to the greens until you have several successful runs from the top to the bottom before you even think about going on the blues.
