Finally, skiing minus all that cold wet snow. With inflatable tires, elaborately adjustable bindings that allow your heels to lift, and optional ski-style poles, Skikes are designed to replicate cross-country skiing. But unlike conventional Nordic skis, they work indoors. So now we can pretend the cubicle aisles are snow trails. OK, the janitors keep griping about the shredded paper we sprinkle around to enhance the experience, but it’s a small price to pay. Next up: an office biathlon—after each circuit around the Edit and Design departments, you stop and use a Nerf blaster to shoot at a picture of Larry Ellison.
