Downhill Skiing

[Raw!]

Who Ski's here? It's so awesome. I'm still learning but when you go downhill really fast it's so awesome. I don't know why, but I actually like the falls. They're so fast and you don't even know what hit you.

*A bit weird, I know*

So who else likes Downhill Skiing or goes Downhill Skiing?

Is there an Uphill skiing then..?
I'm just curious as to why it's called Downhill skiing, lol.

But no, I haven't.
My friend goes several times a year.
She has since she was 5 or so.
I wish I did :]

sounds fun to pop your shoulder out and then back in by itself lol

is that when u jump off the helicopter and land on the side of a mountain and ski down? think its used for huge mountains without any other way to get up other than hiking up

I have been both cross-country and downhill skiiing, never snow boarding.
Absolutly love the speed and thrill of downhill skiing, and I have been meaning to go skiing again.. just haven't got around to it.
(Not too many close-by skiing areas in Australia)

I live about 40-50 minutes from 2 Olympic ski areas. Lol last Sunday they were selling Chevy's at the ski base and they had also provided a 30X30 yard television. For adds.

Yes @ LiNuX.

It's however dangerous because the only way to be safe is to complete your run.
