Considering one of my former jobs in this life was a professional ski racer in the early 70's, not much of a downhill racer mostly slalom and giant slalom.

Downhill racing is scary business, I raced in the downhill in Aspen and Vail to name a few. My last downhill was in Vail were I was coming into a big sweeper onto International run and both my tips blow off from the compression, somewhere in the 70 mph range, that was my last downhill. damn those 225cm K2 skis.

In the 90's I was a Technical Delegate for ski races, basically I ran a race and I did TD a speed race at Willamete Pass were the winner got over 100 mph, most impressive. I also witnessed a racer standing up too soon after he went thru the speed traps at that speed your body is like a sail. They flew him to the hospital in a helo.

Now you know the reason I have been driving Porsches since the late 60's, a total triple X double A. I attribute my skiing to driving, come into the turn hi above the gate and ride the rail. Skiing is a awesome sport, I still ski every week during the season, just not as long anymore, knees are kinda shot.

If anyone out there wants a pair of 225 cm Dynamic downhill skis, very fast skis, let me know, comes with no warranty, use at your own risk, they are beasts to turn under 50 mph but O' so sweet at speed.
