Abstract: This article presents statistics related to skiing. Ten thousand bags, containing information about the environmental harm caused by plastic bags, were given to guests at Falls Creek ski resort in Australia in August 2005. A million of vertical feet has been ascended by Canadian randonnée skier Greg Hill during a 145-day quest--dubbed "The Odyssey"--in British Columbia. Eighty-four persons competed in a nude skiing event (entailing multiple jumps and pirouettes) at an Austrian ski resort in 2004.
