Skiing and flying

Alpine skiing and flying are very much alike. They depend on basic laws of physics and gravity. They both use the principle of energy management to accomplish movement. They both turn money into fun.

In skiing the skier allows gravity to pull them down the snow covered slope as the friction of the skis and the snow is reduced by pointing the skis downhill (into the fall line) gravitation pull increases the skier's speed until such a time as the skier turns the skis less downhill (turns) and the fraction of the snow and the skis edges cause the skis to move away from the fall line.
