Snowboarding on Mars anyone?

• sempron64 8y ago
  It's an interesting question whether this would work. A lot of the low-friction properties of snow are due to pressure-based melt. I wonder if skis or a snowboard would slide well in this crater, both due to the low gravity and extremely low temperature. Maybe with size adjustments to optimize surface area and pressure for an adult human weight it might work, but I have no idea where to even start this calculation.
