Hmm, terminal speed for a falling body is 120mph or so, right? But is that in
a tight tuck dive or flared out (methinks the latter)? How do you get a bike
wheel to get traction in snow? Did it have wheels or skis? So many
questions...

Glen;
Did they say he was in the middle of an avalanche?

Fox news has a video tape of a mountain biker on a 45 degree down hill in
the
snow over a measured mile at 130 mph. Didn't say if it was a timed mile or
a
time trap at the end. At least it was white stuff but not flat
