Swiss single out speeding skiers

| | Comments (0) |

You're not going to believe this. But the Swiss are running radar traps on their ski slopes! What's next flashing blue lights and sirens?

This week, Swiss ski patrols began treating skiers and snowboarders like cars on the autobahn. The patrol is using handheld radars to check speeds.

Skiers can't go faster than 19 miles per hour. Don't know what happens if you're really cooking in a ski school zone!

I guess the Swiss think the slopes are getting a little too dangerous. Don't know about you but I have no idea how fast I can ski.

What do you think? Ready for some high speed pursuits?
