Well, FWIW, my sister who was 1 or two levels above me in skiing, managed to actually break a ski, without even doing anything particularly bold. When you say you are an expert skier they do tend to make the bindings pretty damn “hard” iirc.
Now, skis poles ? I think most of them are hollow and bend when you look at them wrong
Also the weird-ass “aura” around the character in the last panel. Afaik AIs don’t really do layers so when they draw things that are supposed to be on top of a background they tend to avoid drawing anything around it
