This isn’t good news. Or bad news. We’re not even sure if it is “news” — this video was posted a year ago and the McSki in the Swedish ski resort of Lindvallen has been around since 1996. But what we do know is that it is an unsettling reminder that McDonald’s are EVERYWHERE.
And in case that wasn’t disconcerting enough, let us not forget that there is also a ski-thru Starbucks in Squaw Valley.

Here are ski-thru options we at The Inertia Mountain would much rather have:
1. Ski-Thru Saloon – These kind of already exist. But place where you and friends are able to ski up to a bar and order a quick drink mid-slope.
2. Ski-Thru Bathroom – Sort of like a car wash, where you literally ski into an enclosed space, the toilet/urinal is introduced via mechanical arm that extends it underneath/in front of you then removes itself once you are done. Admittedly, hand-washing and overall hygiene might be a problem.
3. Ski-Thru Locker Room – For when you get a lil’ pow beneath your collar, or sink into a little too much slush, or need to shed a few layers/put a couple more on. Rather than having to go all the way to the bottom and unclipping/unstrapping to wade through a river of people, this would be a simple stop-and-go operation.
4. Ski-Thru Sushi – While you might be like, “that’s sounds sooo Aspen,” don’t for a second deny that you wouldn’t go.
5. Ski-thru In-N-Out OR Shake Shack – Obviously what you’re getting depends on which coast you’re on. But if we’re going to do fast food, let’s do good fast food.
Bonus: Ski-Thru Dispensaries – We figure this is for a select crowd.
Until then, I suppose we should raise a Frappuccino over a double quarter pounder to another ski season!
