Ski mountaineering – aka skimo – is an epic sport in which skiers make their way up to the summit of a mountain, then downhill-ski back to the base. The E-Skimo system is designed to make the trip up easier, by putting motorized treads on the skis.

“Drawing inspiration from the ebike revolution,” E-Skimo is made by Swiss startup E-Outdoor. The system will be officially unveiled next month at CES.
