For all those who confuse skiing fast with skiing well:

I’m still approaching the joys of going fast. Speed feels like a lack of control, which is scary, so I usually keep on the slow side unless there is a flat trail ahead. When I go fast for the flats, it’s exhilarating, but I don’t have to worry about stopping. I don’t have much practice stopping when I’m at speed. I think that’s the next drill for me: getting much more confident at hockey stops. Then I’ll be more confident with speed!
