can you ski on mashed potatoes? what would the consistency have to be and would butter help? would they be dense and creamy or just really chunky?
Are these groomed mashed potatoes or freshly fallen mashed potatoes? Are they manmade (out of the box) or “natural?”
Are you being towed while skiing? Are the potatoes frozen? How thick of a layer are we talking about? Are you serious? Yes - butter always helps.
i want to say good old home made mashed potatoes, but i’m thinking about skiing near my school so i might be able to use some of the large quantities of powder mashed potatoes that they use, let’s say either, would any of them work? i’m not being towed while i’m skiing, i’m going down a steep hill, with a foot of natural or processed mashed potatoes. the mashed potatoes are not frozen, they’re warm, and yes i am serious.
Well, you’d definately need to consult a ski shop about what wax to use. Mashed potatoes are sticky and your skies could get easily bogged down. (imagine skiing in wet slushy snow). Perhaps a teflon coating would be helpful.
Upon reflection it seems that powdered mashed potatoes (reconstituted of course) would be preferable because of their more uniform texture. Also, less efforrt to create the 12" base.
Parabolic “fat boy” powder skis might be appropriate to prevent sinking into the mashed potato goodness.
yes, it is possible then?
Is it possible to frost a steep hill with warm, slimy, buttered mash potatoes and slide down said hill? Just a WAG, but I’d say sure.
Wait a moment… Are you using real butter, or margarine? Whatever you do, just make sure you don’t use “low-fat” margarine-- It tastes terrible.
this is not for eating, strictly for sport and skiing, maybe tubing if possible. definately butter
