Is the skier in this clip doing 50mph = 80kph as claimed?: http://www.taomartialarts.com/ski/sk...ghtliningh.wmv In my expert opinion, it would be impossible to do 50 MPH on the slope depicted from a standing start without dropping into a tuck. Standing upright with arms outreached is about the worst position for drag a skier can stand in.
