You ever try to pack out a 500 pound animal on skis?
No, but I certainly have seen my share of people that carry up to 80 pounds on skis...which is about all most people can handle. And do it MUCH more quickly than on slow shoes, allowing for more trips in a day. That’s what the porters that go to the yurts use, and they know a thing or two.

Well, i am far from capable of that. Also, not sure if the skis would have done well in this particular terrain.
