I used V2 Aero XL125S and V2 Aero XL150SC rollerski for my training in Alpe d'Huez. To start descent you need to adjust speed reducers to lower speed that rollerski will not go very fast and use rollerski brake (behind my right leg) to slow down on turns and to stop. When you need to climb the brake and speed reducers do not slow down rollerski at all.
The V2 rollerski with brake and speed reducers can be used on cycling routes everywhere.
15 km descent from Alpe D'Huez to Bourg d'Oissan takes about 26min. Climb from Bourg d'Oissan to Alpe d'Huez takes about 80...90min.
If you want to simulate skiing... You need a big front wheel skate with small trailing wheels. I made some for myself, used regularly for street skating. Unfortunately, I don't know of any similar commercially available product. For downhill, the closely spaced small trailing wheels could be narrower and maybe smaller than ordinary inline skate wheels. Anyway, here is a rough idea of what a "land ski" should look like (flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/). Good luck and have fun.
