Sounds of the Downhill

 

Some of the top ski racers in the world describe what it's like during a World Cup downhill — literally, life on the edge.

  2. I love to Ski, and I’ve been on the very same paths the professionals used for tournament (Canada) over the years. I am no professional by any means, barely intermediate to be honest.

    Very loud indeed, even at a quarter speed than they do. Ear plugs are a must.

    Favorite yearly Ski destination?

    If you go, stay in Canmore just miles outside of Banff. Awesome town….
