Skiing is a tough and demanding sport. Its hard to realize just how fast these guys and gals are going unless you have stood close to the course. 70+ miles an hour on two sticks seems alittle nuts to me. I've seen the British ski team here at Mt. Hood Oregon a couple times staying in shape skiing the slopes in spring and summer time.
