Nikolas Plytas 2021 H2O
Upvote for the pickup truck!
Back country skiing in Colorado when I was growing up, down the hill, through the woods to a road, hitchhike back near the top, hike the last couple hundred meters, rinse, repeat.
Nine times out of 10 it was a pickup truck with snow in the back that was picking you up.
This was right before snowboarding was really a thing.

ENZED UIM 2016 Jetsprint WORLDS ACTION
Slalom: a timed race (as on skis or in an automobile or kayak) over a winding or zigzag course past a series of flags or markers broadly : movement over a zigzag route.
Closed loop zigzag?
So, at 3:40---what precisely is the course? It's not an oval, it's not a figure 8--what is it?

Put skis on that man and send him to the winter Olympic downhill trials.
Terrifying Moment Skier Falls Into A Crevas
"My friend came just above me with too much speed, the snow took me and caused the fall. "
His buddy's skiing pushed him into the crevasse. Damn.

Why do they call this a ski jump? It looks like they're just skiing off the edge and falling down the side of the mountain. They should just rename it to ski fall.

Wait a minute! They now have grooves for the skis to keep them straight going down the slope!? That's like training wheels!
You know, back in my day...

Seeing the width of those wings on his feet , i wonder if there is a limit in how wide and or long a ski can be? I assume there must be.

4 Brutal Crashes At Val d’Isere Downhill Ski Event
I love skiing. I'd say I'm above average; not great. Using a skiing performance tracker app last year in Utah, I broke 40 mph on a downhill run and it scared the shit out of me. These skiers are going 80-90mph through this section. Don't want to think of me crashing at that speed.
Sky Brown the 12 year old girl and her mega ramp
Ha!
I don't remember learning to ski, I was on black diamonds at 6. I made the unrecoverable mistake of trying to teach my wife to ski around 15 years back when we were 35ish. I'm not sure I'll ever get to go again, definitely not with her. Probably for the best with my back and knee, but I would love to go again, even if I have to stick to blue trails.
Never been that adrenaline junky but I can see the attraction.
I gave up my fastest downhill skis last week; loved them, but too hard on the knees on anything other than a good groom and in the past two years, I've deliberately traded away 12-18 mph on my average downhill speed because: not willing to pay the tax on a high speed crash anymore .... I look at what she's dropping in on and I know that I would never do that on skis now...

I had a friend in high school that had a 15' vertical ramp. He liked to climb to the roof of his 3 story Victorian to drop in, around 40'. Another friend's ramp had a big tree next to it, he liked to grab it >30' up and sit down to rest, then drop back in from the branch. He never looked scared at all.
When you're doing what you love, the fear of failure dissolves.
That's how I was able to drive 140 over unknown uneven terrain with +- 3% traction and feel good about it. It was horrifically unsafe, but some of the best times of my life I would repeat in a heartbeat if I was still able. Thanks to various broken parts including my back, that's a pipedream now. (Hilariously, maybe ironically, I broke it working on my house, not off road racing, not downhill biking, not whitewater kayaking, just removing a cast iron bathtub.)
At least there are some decent off-road video games now to keep me out of the buggy.
Welsh Seagull Steals Tourist's Sausage Roll
Even wearing a ski mask couldn’t make that seagull’s intentions more obvious, he walked right into that trap.
