What's the cost of the lift pass?
Is it ski in/ski out?
Do they serve Zipfer marzen?

With a gravity of 0.38g you will be able to catch some gnarly air and make some supersoft landings!!

The mission scientists are not the only ones excited with the hopes that some of the snow will make to to the ground :mrgreen:
I expect the lift pass cost would be "out of this world" :D But like tino points out, wouldn't it be a blast to ski & jump in that gravity - or lack of it :shock:
I wonder if Pavel's son can arrange a Bombardier jet for the trip :?:
Just sooo exciting.....

I hear Ryanair have refused to fly there until the Martians agree to give them free landing rights for 200 years :lol:

I really hate to put a damper on this but....
The "snow" on mars is likely to be carbon dioxide and you can't ski on it like you can on ice, not with our skis anyway.
Carbon dioxide changes from solid to gas with no intermediate liquid phase, so there is nothing to glide over.
Save your money for Niederau..., sorry, Earth.

It's only a slope.
