'Meditation in motion is what Anne Anderson, a professional ski instructor and yoga teacher, said she had in mind when she developed the snowga concept a few years ago, set up a Facebook page and offered 90-minute classes at the Mohawk Mountain ski resort in Connecticut.
"The yogic breath and movement can be integrated into many sports and recreational activities to improve awareness, oneness and mindfulness,'' she says....she came up with the idea as a way of helping skiers and snowboarders overcome their fears.'

Just. No. But more power to those who find it helpful/therapeutic/etc... Skiing is like meditation for me. My head always feels clearer after a good day on the hill without having to downward dog on skis.

That seems like a total gimmick. Doing yoga outside, in a winter setting is one thing but doing it on skis seems to add nothing to the practice.
