What’s the worst part of skiing or snowboarding (particularly the latter)? The flat bits, obviously, and the bits when you’re not skiing or snowboarding, like the chairlift.
Well, if you agree with that statement then your life might just be about to become a hell of a lot better. ThrustMe, while sounding like some kind of self-operated sex toy, have invented a backpack that literally propels you up pistes and across flats, potentially putting an end to the need for chairlifts.
Pre-orders for the ThrustMe – wow, the name doesn’t get any better – have already started retailing at around £3830, and the first 200 are said to be ready for delivery by winter 2017.
