I was wondering; given the same snow and path; which is faster Skis or

Easy question. *Look at the NASTAR handicaps.

The boarders get 10 discount points just for riding one of those things,
plus another 35 for intellectual disability.

With that handicap they'd clean up if they didn't have to stop for a Red
Bull and to bum a smoke in the middle of the race.

Some of my best friends used to be boarders, before they got hit in
the head while stopped in the middle of the run just over small
hillocks that hid them from the view of other non-stopping boarders
coming down the same trajectory.G
