<cough> I've run this experiment, circa 1993, after having watched
a video of someone kayaking down the side of a mountain in Tibet
or Switzerland or somewhere.   And among the scattered observations
I can make are (a) boats are not designed to go that fast and
(b) it's important to note that sometimes snow conditions at
the beginning are not the same as snow conditions at the end.
