Jetpack brings new dimension to skiing

For those who love the sport of skiing but hate the hassle of long, slow lines back to the top of the slope on a chairlift might want to check this out – a spanking new kind of jetpack which might just change the face of skiing, although we do have our doubts. Troy Harman who is an all-round stunt stud and extreme sports enthusiast has strapped on a jetpack and made good use of such thrust to push him up the black diamond slopes, using a couple of two engines from a decommissioned military UAV, where those are more than able to push him up and around slopes at 47-mph with just half the throttle opened. Doesn’t sound like an environmentally friendly method to do so, though,
