- I've never seen anyone going that fast except down hills, and if the hills are so long that you can't run it out on following flats, then fall, - mafic Jun 22, 08:23 2

    - that's about the first thing you should learn when downhill skiing. if you're out of control, fall. - mafic Jun 22, 08:31

      - meh, I skied on 200+cm downhills for a long time. I'm used to length. - mafic Jun 22, 08:26 7

        seriously, you don't get going that fast, or you're skiing beyond your ability. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 08:36 1
        
        oh, I know. sometimes there are downhill runs in the woods, though, where there's a sharp turn. - loosilu Jun 22, 08:38
