With the glider part of the attraction is that you can pull up over the rocks on faces you normally wouldn't be able to ski. There are pretty strict limitations on where you can do it where I ski. I think it would make somewhere icey like Whistler Blackombe (sorry Cannucks--its true) a lot more fun to ski towards the end of the season when it rains more.
I tried out a Kite board water rig last summer, and you have to be one in shape mofo to handle one of those rigs. I could barely walk after an hour or so with the thing. It is exactly like the ski rig but you are strapped to essentially a wake board. The first wave of owners are starting to dump their rigs in the Columbia River Gorge area of Oregon, and I have been lurking on various windsurfing message boards to try and pick one up cheap.
