初学者的危险: 被out of control的dickhead撞伤撞残(google一下, 你会发现, 美国滑雪季节的drunk skiing的案发率相当不低, 曾有撞死人被起诉并convicted的案例)。
高级水平者的危险: 自己成为dickhead, 撞伤自己或别人。
dickhead的定义: ski beyond one's own control capability.
两个比比, 你说哪个危险?
其实, 要体验从山顶上飘下来的那种神仙般的爽(俗称高山滑雪, downhill skiing), 只有两个要点:
1) develop controls (俗称滑雪技巧)
2) know how to stay within control ( even the toughest extreme skiers have their limits. The difference is whether one knows his limit).
