The Austrian ski course, the Streif, has an incredibly difficult and insanely steep piste. The vertical slant of 40.4 degrees makes it difficult to ski on the snowy path. However, legends like Aleksander Kilde think otherwise. Kilde made headlines by winning the Men’s downhill race in Kitzbuhel. Interestingly, to congratulate her boyfriend, iconic skier Mikaela Shiffrin expressed her delight in the most fascinating way.
