I think a skater would fall over if they tried to hold that position only on the toepicks. Certainly they would not be able to glide on the toes.
Skates are not ballet shoes, and are not bare feet either. They have different mechanics.
Hah, maybe not as en pointe as that position, but ballet movements en pointe have been done by Ashley in her Black Swan footwork. And Baiul.
