This year, Kia Motors stood out from the bunch when they presented what they referred to as the "Ski Gondola." It is pretty much a souped-up Kia Sorento, with its most notable feature being the rubber tracks, making it resemble the likes of a snowcat much more than a gondola. Other features include two front seats that spin around to maintain the feel of a gondola, self-driving so it can meet you back at the bottom after taking a lap, and more.

So this is crazy and I was expecting Xzibit to pop up on the scene the whole time, but it isn't all so out of this world. Nissan Canada released a similar prototype earlier this year, so who's to say when vehicles like these could become a reality? Though probably not a good reality.
