  1. Bull shit title, even if it meant kmph.

    The fastest possible speed someone can ski downhill depends on a few factors: the steepness of the slope, snow conditions, equipment, and the skier’s technique. Let’s break it down:

    Professional Alpine Ski Racing (World Cup / Downhill)

    Typical speeds: 50–80 mph (80–130 km/h) on steep, groomed slopes.

    Record speeds: Alain Baxter, Simone Origone, and others in speed skiing competitions can reach over 100 mph (160 km/h).

    Speed Skiing (Specialized Event)

    This is specifically designed for maximum speed on very steep, straight courses.

    Current world record: 254.958 km/h (~158.5 mph), set by Simone Origone in 2016.

    These speeds require aerodynamic suits, long skis, and extremely smooth, steep slopes.

  2. Is that the same guy that tried to set a speed record going down a mountain
    On a bicycle, but it broke in half sending him head over heels down the mountain.
