Ski addiction

Finally I am able to ski relatively fast and that adrenalin rush is proven to be a true addiction. Recently with the Winter Olympic games coming up, french medias keep broadcasting live events. Watching athletes skiing is just tingling my nerves. My feet are so itchy that only putting on ski and gliding down the mountains can ease them. My urge is so much that I had watched countless skiing videos on Youtube since yesterday, thinking that it would help me to quench the thirst.  

Among all those videos, these are the few good ones :

The third video is downhill ski racing. In fact, it is the only event in Winter Olympic that interests me. It is amazing how fast these downhill skier go and still able to maneuver around sharp turns with elegance. It is an extremely dangerous sport, one slight mistake you could be thrown off the hill. It is practically putting your life at stake.

Now curves I can do tend more and more to a perfect giant S and I am able to do some carving as well. Last time I skied, which was less than two weeks ago, I was able to ski down red piste with ease, while black was a bit choppy but still able to enjoy it. Steepness doesn't scare me so much anymore. What I am still afraid of are bumps, bumpy pistes, especially when they are both bumpy and steep. 

So much room still available for improvement.
