skier

The skier video on the website is just plain bad.

You can win an argument with a mountain climber by pointing out he is going downhill, but not a skier; since for a skier, going downhill is the point.

Or if you have the talent to be a world class skier but were born in the Bahamas.

So an elite skier can afford to ski relatively safe in order to get consistent results over the many races.

Looking at this stuff as an experienced climber/hiker/mountaineer/skier it looks poorly thought out or poorly described.

It really shouldn't surprise anyone that your chances of becoming a good skier are awful.

A more skilled skier will be able to go faster without making any mistakes.

One of the best examples of this is the cross country skier Eero Mäntyranta[1].

Also, a Ukrainian alpine skier and her coach quit the games in protest over the treatment of the protesters back in Kiev.

I'm an alpine skier (ex-racer) and the only times I go that slow is on transport stages.

But knowing a person you meet in someplace like Tampa, is an avid skier (an outlier) tells you all kinds of things about them.

As a backcountry skier in New England, I can attest that it is surprisingly easy to get yourself into high-consequence situations.

The original article is saying "The skier can travel 120 miles in one hour because he is going 120mph".

Video boils down to an old skiing saying: A skier says to another - "Hey, did you fall today?" the other skier responds - "No." Then the first skiers says "You didn't go fast enough or went down slopes that were way to easy." If you aren't failing, you aren't challenging yourself enough.
