Too machine gun for me. Here's what I like. With visuals from the hardest driving sport. Note that in the old days the courses were a lot bumpier and had little in the way of safety equipment. Mr. Klammer said, "I was completely out of control." The Hahnenkamm is too dangerous for today's safety standards but was grandfathered in as traditional.

The skiers make a tremendous WHOOSH as they pass by. I'd like to hear that some day but they don't allow spectators on the mountain any more. You watch on a big screen TV. Huh.

The course is a sheet of ice, partly because it's more durable. I don't know how they get a grip on it. Extremely stiff skis I bet. A reported once borrowed Steve Maher's GS skis and said they wouldn't turn at less than 30 mph. Here are some recreational skiers making an attempt.
