Skiing is like surfing without getting wet, and if you have the right gear, without getting cold. I dont know if you can classify it as a sport, because in reality, gravity does most of the work.
Initially skiing is hard on the body, but as your technique improves, you simply end up shifting your weight to let nature take its course. Ideally this should make you look awe inspiring, and styley; and although it can often look that way to an observer, the inner me is often screaming siliently "Oh shite!!"
But how could you not love the image of Coronet Peak Building, as you ski down the M1 at the end of your run - Magic!
