Star Trek - Skiing and sledding

[dieastra]

I have a friend on Twitter who is always decorating the shop window of her local pharmacy. Easter, carnivale, Christmas... and last week she did a winter theme with skiing. Check out the pictures here:

A long long time ago a friend had made little skis for me, from coffee stirrers but I never have done anything with them as I did not like the skiing poles which were just straws.

So I got inspired and I went to look whether I could find something better in my stash. The metal rods are from file folders I believe. I also tried out spaghetti as they were lighter for Chakotay to hold up in the air.

















The hill, made from styrofoam, without the "snow":




The snow I use is a sheet that sometimes new technology things come wrapped in:




The little slalom posts I made with tooth pricks and paper for the flags:

I had not decided yet whether this was the holodeck or after they returned home, but friends on Twitter have convinced me now that they actually passed a planet with snow on their way and took a break ;)

I imagine it going like this:

"Captain, I thought you said we were going straight home! We have been here for three days already!"

"Quiet, ensign, go build a snowman or something."

I guess it would have been difficult to film, as they film mostly in a studio - even the caves are all studio - but Stargate has shown us that they could freeze a whole set and make it really cold so the breath would show and the ice and snow would not melt when Jack and Sam were stranded. I guess they did not have to act feeling cold!

Also, I couldn't resist doing two more ;)

It's true about the filming difficulties, but there's no reason it wouldn't be possible using special effects.

Aww, that's sweet <3
