Sure, its Chris Haffey and he's been skating for decades. But he's only been skiing for a few seasons. The crossover potential between the two sports is huge and I'm surprised that so few people on NS take advantage of the closest summer sport resembling freeskiing. Food for thought...

No, skiers should rollerblade because its fun, not to "train" for their skiing.
