Default Skiing

On a slalom ski you would probably sink or at least drag severely at 25mph but on combo skis you may be ok. It also depends on the weight of the skier. I typically ski at 32-33 mph on a slalom ski but anywhere from 30-35 depending on the skier is good. I don't barefoot but I believe 40mph at the very least is needed, maybe more. I have friends that have barefoot skied & I think they needed at least 40mph.
