Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Isn't that a prerequisite for a downhill skier?
Impressive nonetheless.

I guess he operates in the same way as Guy Martin, both having operated at the top end of a speed sport, everything else is a little boring, so he goes looking for extreme thrills.

@HossDoc, I was skiing with him a few years ago and he was real keen to have a go at the flying K record but he thought his body shape wasn't aerodynamic enough after training with the world record holder. Interesting conversation and even back then was talking about towed skiing ...

@ansta1, Funny enough bumped into Graham yesterday in Tignes and had a good catch up with him over breakfast. He recons that he could go much faster and it was the car that limited the speed Toofy Grin Toofy Grin stay tuned for a new record at some point
Shocked

@PaulC1984,

got me thinking that.....why is it any more burn from that static squat than at a slower speed, OK the wind resistance is more but theres no more drag from the snow is there.......?

serious question - does it make a difference?

There will be more drag from the snow but that might just be more a case of balance than effort required from the muscles.

The energy that has to be absorbed from each little bump must become quite significant though. I'd have thought that would have an impact.
