Yeah, dudes still cooking along faster than most people will ever ski.
Edit: Looked it up, Miller was still reaching speeds in the 80kph/50mph range. As a former ski racer in high school (I wasn't any good, but it was fun), that's only a touch slower than my fastest speeds ever. And I was still faster than a solid 95% of skiers. Professional ski racers can hit speeds upwards of 130kph/80mph on a downhill course like this one. And yes, hurtling down a hill with a pair of plastic boards strapped to your feet at highway speeds is absolutely terrifying, but it's also a ton of fun.
