Am I incorrect in that it appears that more attempts have been made at 43 off at 36 mph? Many believe that 34 mph is easier and that may be the case up to a point. But to me, 36 mph is easier. I have never been able to ski as well at 34 mph as 36 mph. That being said, you really do not see a lot of former OM skiers skiing in the Big Dawg. IMO, the Big Dawg, is what is it. The Big Dawg.
