High speed skiing​​!

I can't remember having skied so fast as recently. This, of course, is mainly due to the fact that there is no powder and no decent tree skiing available at the moment, and while I am not the kind of guy who loves to ski on super-groomed runs, I have little other alternative. With a thin layer of snow and an arctic-cold weather, our ski slopes are just like speedways, perfectly smooth and polished.

The new skis are also perhaps a reason that keep people standing on them in spite of their high rate of speed, but I mostly credit the fact that there are very few people on the runs (thanks, Sundance Film Festival!) and on these perfectly prepared runs it's easy to believe that we're all Bode Miller!
