Schüssing (sho͞os-ing): “A straight steep course for skiing or snowboarding.”

I learned this term while skiing in Austria in 2016. My tour guide in Obertauern told us to schüss to the bottom of the trail. She explained that this means to get down as fast as possible. Later, this word became the toast for the ski group and I.

Follow along on this website as I document my experiences “Schüssing” ski slopes around the world.
