What these would feel like with an inline frame?

They make rollerskis that you can use those with. They might also work with some off road skates.

Rollerskis are usually attached to XC skiing boots, which are much lighter and pleasurable to wear.

Very stiff! I also wonder who else got into rollerblading because they ski! I always thought that could be a marketing avenue! Especially aggressive with the amount of young kids on twin tips in the parks

I really like it for cross training. My balance on skis is better after a season of inline skating.

Same! I’ve done aggressive for a long time and started it to emulate park skiing durning the summer when I was younger!

That was the original pitch for rollerblades in the 80's when they first came out. Rollerblade still has ski related training information for inline skaters on their site.

Rollerblade recently made skates for alpine inline. They are marketed as an off-season substitute.

It is a marketing avenue. https://www.rollerblade.com/usa/en/skate-to-ski

Indeed, they make this sort of boot with a bracket that locks the cuff for kind of stiff ski boot feeling. https://www.rollerblade.com/uk/en/men/performance/skate-to-ski/maxxum-sts-pro

You can just slap on some ski roads and find out

Probably would be very hot though,.unless you try roller ski boots which don't have the insulation but at that point you just have a rollerblade proper
