They expected her to stay in the gully in the snow and follow it down, because it would be easier, instead she Goes more on the meat - Comes out the gully up onto the snow drift Slashes a turn - turns hard cutting into the snow Gaps to a spine - she jumps over another gully to land on the raised ridge of snow Airs off the spine - jumps from the ridge Stomps the cliff - Lands the drop off the cliff confidently Riding on the bottom slough chasing her - The snow she'd kicked up followed her down the mountain and looked dramatic

There are millions of these youngsters today. We can spare some, in case things go wrong, there are enough new ones. In your days, we needed every young person.
Angel Collinson certainly knows how to nail the steep and vertical stuff... Looking at the terrain, you wonder why she doesn't just fall off the hill. Excellent video from her helmet cam.
oh yeah that 50 degree slope looks mellow.... 1 off balance turn and your off that line and survivor mode clicks in and not falling is the ONLY priority... awesome vid great job skiers!!!
For those who don't know, terminal velocity is a state when gravity is equal to air resistance (drag force) so an object that enters this state will stop accelerating (achieves constant speed)
That was awesome. When going down the easier slopes one learns to look ahead by 20 yards or more. I suspect she had to look further than that to anticipate negotiating the ride. I heard a story of a kid in a Colorado rodeo school say that being on a bull for an 8-second ride it is almost like time slows down. A teacher said, "No. 8 seconds is always 8 seconds. Time doesn't slow down. Our mind speeds up." This makes sense when going down a mountain at 150 mph.
TheBCSledder I've been 233mph head down towards the earth under 18k feet in a skydive. Luigi went 333mph under 18k. Then of course the 3 stratosphere jumpers all went over 800mph. Hope that helps
1 2 i hope you mean kilometers buddy and the ones from the stratosphere have less air resistance so they arnt in the same category and on top of all the terminal velocity is a relative term so she was probably going terminal velocity which in her conditions was about 90 mph, 150 kph
Marek Sumguy There is no fucking license on the word terminal or velocity. She literally reached her terminal velocity. Only a moron would click on a ski video which says "terminal velocity" and expect her to reach terminal velocity for fucking free falling. It only becomes a click bait if you are that dumb.
+Frabjous Speed skiers exceed normal terminal velocity. World record for speed skiing is 156.8mph. Normal human terminal velocity is around 120mph. I don't know how fast she was going, but it's possible.
+Christopher Thompson There is no such thing as a single "Normal Human Terminal Velocity", an object's terminal velocity depends on it's mass, its volume, (which is it's density), and its aerodynamic properties, as well as a couple of others things. Normal Terminal Velocity is subjective so it's different for a apple and it's different for a fat guy and its different for a skinny guy.
A good friend of mine with the same last name died needlessly at the hands of a transport-truck driver who walks free to this day. I like to think his spirit is with this young lady, screaming in wild excitement while she calmly interacts with her own spiritual realm. I guess what I'm saying is this is a great example of the human spirit.
But how could anything be sexier than RIDING a BIG mountain. Consider the symbolism. With a little imagination you can get just as much sexist enjoyment from this.

They expected her to stay in the gully in the snow and follow it down, because it would be easier, instead she
Goes more on the meat - Comes out the gully up onto the snow drift
Slashes a turn - turns hard cutting into the snow
Gaps to a spine - she jumps over another gully to land on the raised ridge of snow
Airs off the spine - jumps from the ridge
Stomps the cliff - Lands the drop off the cliff confidently
Riding on the bottom slough chasing her - The snow she'd kicked up followed her down the mountain and looked dramatic

Didn't realise how steep that slope was until that guy leaned on it for a rest.
And that wasn't even the steepest part!
it was sage

It's not the steepness that makes it dangerous moreso than the rocks. Many black diamonds and blue-blacks are that steep.
What kind of runs are you riding down? That is definitely above the percent grade for a black.
"If it's really f*cked.... just stop"
Bro 4 seconds into this and I want to know how you stop *falling*
You just stop what's complicated about that.
Just tell gravity no.
You'll stop eventually no matter what.

It probably would have been impossible. Skis, boots, helmets, all their other gear (and helicopters!) were VERY different in 1957.

Terminal velocity is the speed at which you stop accelerating it’s not necessarily 120 miles an hour

I Googled her. She's still alive, to my surprise.
Yeah shes ripping but its a stupid click bait title
nah, she probably did reach terminal at one point.
Voltaic Cell I don’t think it’s possible if you’re not free falling because there is still friction other than air resistance
Voltaic Cell maybe though, I don’t know too much about terminal velocity
relative terminal velocity. it isnt the same as a skydriver terminal velocity. she clocked out and couldnt accelerate anymore.
Voltaic Cell well of course she couldn’t accelerate anymore past the limit of gravity but her velocity definitely could
Extremely talented, yet so humble. What an amazing free skier!!
Amazing how it looks way harder and scarier from a bird's eye view vs first person.
That's because of the go pro lense
Yeah, it's probably way steeper than it looks like because of the lens.
When it’s steep, it’s steep
@2:32 im more impressed with the heli pilot skills setting the front skids on the ground an hovering like he did.... SHow us more of that pls :)

Did anyone else laugh at the guy skier casually falling over into a super chill position to listen to her talk? Now THAT, is game. Lol
