Jeremy Jones is an extreme snowboarder riding down pitches that are almost vertical. The slopes are extraordinarily steep, technical, and mentally challenging.
“The pitch of what he was riding, that was incomprehensible. Not just steep and technical, but mentally so challenging. You have to be the most calculated snowboarder in the world to do what he does ... and survive."

The ski cross is a mad dash over clifflike jumps, around hairpin turns, through gullies and down steep slopes. Four racers fly down the course together, jostling for position at highway speeds.
Aerial skiing is inherently dangerous. Skiers bomb down a ramp at 40+ miles an hour, launch 50 feet into the air, and perform multiple flips and twists before landing on a steep slope.

Mars landing missions use wheels to move around, but their progress can be stymied by sand-traps, steep slopes and boulder fields. A hopper would simply leap across these obstacles to the next safest, flat surface.
