What you're describing is the powerpack from a Paramotor. They're
quite heavy. It would not be easy to balance on skis while wearing
one, particularly if travelling at speed. |

//strap it to your back// Given that skis on snow is not a friction-free interface, strapping it to your butt would work better. |
|

Having a small engine on the end of each ski would be better than that: there's some moment arm there which would lessen precessional effects. |
