Skiing is a lot of fun, especially this time of the year. Climbing can sap your energy quick though. The E-Skimo is designed to address that. It is an electric-assisted ski system that lets you climb up to 80% faster. It has advanced sensors and a 6-axis inertial platform to engage the motors during ascents. When you are going down, these can adapt to slopes and your acceleration to help you improve your technique.
