The Skiing Experience - Ray Johnson - January 1981

Ray Johnson

Alpine skiing is the most stimulating of all sports. Skiers know that during a downhill run every muscle and every fiber of their bodies will be tested to the limit. Traveling at 25 or 30 miles an hour - turning, bending, balancing - requires keen concentration and almost limitless physical stamina. After a day of skiing a person has used more energy and burned more calories than in almost any other sport. But have you ever seen a group of skiers after a day on the slopes? Instead of being bushed, they're usually smiling - their spirits aglow with happiness. The reason? Effort. A good skier gives 100 percent total effort, with the mind and senses absorbed in what is happening. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
