To each his own bro, but it's extremely dangerous behavior. If you fk up at those velocities on that kind of slope...as you know, siyanora.
I have skied, never was more than a novice, it's fun, but it's obvious when you're doing it even on a beginners course that very bad things can happen if you hit a tree or rock or even another skier.
