Metres per second per second, a measure of acceleration. Yes, it is the same as metres per squared second. More normally expressed as "metres per second squared", IME. Yep, But I want to know what a square second looks like It's the interval between looking at yourself in the mirror wearing your green & pink 1980s one-piece, and tearing it off again. -- Sue ];( |

There are loads of runs at Whistler (and Blackcomb) that are not marked, but I take your point, they do seem to mark a lot more runs than would be the case in Europe. IIRC at the top of the chirlift to the main Whistler bowl(the peak) there was a little jump off the cornice which then rejoined the main piste down the bowl. One day I noticed two piste markers (with 2 black diamonds) calling this lifties leap. At the time I thought it was a joke. |

I think it is a bit of a joke but it's a marked run alright. |

We even found one in Whistler that was only 2m long (a drop off a cornice that then rejoined the main route). Is that the world's shortest ski run? Crossposted to RSA, they probably know it well. When they first open are hills here in the midwest they often have only one run open, but they will claim six on a single run that is probably only .5 miles long. Every pitch, grade, and turn earns a new name. But two meters may well be a record. That is short. nate |
