If you've tried driving around on an icy planet you'll have noticed how much the SRV slides about, especially on low-grav bodies with lumpy bits, meaning you're often having to counter-steer to keep going in roughly the right direction much like rally drivers do, it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
So as a keen snow-boarder I thought I'd take my SRV 'off-piste' to see how well it could ski - found a nice steep canyon on some system near Alioth and jumped over the edge, it was a blast! Probably 15 minutes of the most fun I've had in a game, steep enough to be constantly at top speed, largely in control, and not too many crevices so I could 'carve' to the the bottom, which turned out to be very dark and misty, spooky even.
Recommended, although I think it needs to be done on a relatively high gravity ice-planet (which are few and far between) otherwise you just bounce around.
I'll have another go and try and do a video or some screenies next time.
