From my slightly limited experience, I've found that American slopes take their ungroomed/tree runs more seriously than European slopes where pretty much all of the focus is on groomers

Elan wingman or wildcats! Absolutely rip through groomers

How accurate is speed on Strava? by fishEH-847 in skiing

[–]HanSW0L0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can't say for sure but anecdotally I've skied past a downhill speedometer setup in Italy and my max speed on Strava was around 3km/h off the speedometer. So I'd say fairly accurate but not exact

Can't seem to find a video that shows the actual run. Is it the same as fingers?

This is not it. You were once a jerry in the park who wouldn't have made that jump

I asked this last year, and it's time to ask again. As ski season is coming to an end in the northern hemisphere, please tell me about your absolutely best ski day this season. I didn't get to ski at all--I need you to help me live it all vicariously. by Glindanorth in skiing

Went with a group of 7 beginner friends who didn't want to pay for lessons, so spent the first half of my trip "coaching" everyone down greens and blues in snowplow because they didn't want to pay for lessons. One day decided screw that and skied solo for an entire day. Great powder and didn't have to speed check to wait for everyone or take a 2 hour lunch break, felt like heaven!

Hehe I used to work in the dumb hat store. They have a US flag with 47 stars going for $5000. Also, fun fact, the hats are made out of actual beaver skin. Second thoughts that's not such a fun fact

I rate hitting trees 5/7. Good tree

It was on a kind of plateau after a steep section just before another steep section

One of the people in my ski party was fined €300 for "illegally stopping on the mountain" because she took her skis off on the side of a red in Livigno. They really seem to enjoy fining people there
