Schussing is a term for skiing straight down a steep slope at high speeds. Some synonyms for schussing include skiing recklessly, bombing down the mountain, racing downhill, or hurtling down the slope. Another term for schussing that is often used in North America is "tucking," which is when skiers lower their bodies to reduce drag and increase speed.
