We found the smoking skis.

Seriously though that looks equal parts exhilarating and terrifying.

That is a huge mountain. Do they have skis on? Looks like it takes a great deal of skill. Which I do not have. Bunny slopes only. Someday one of them should have a camera attached and make a video of what it looks like going downhill.
