Oh wow, really? Skiing can be a means of transport, a recreational activity, or a competitive winter sport. Which one does you brother do?

He does it as a competitive winter sport.

That's awesome. My favorite form of skiing is cross-country skiing. I love the mountainous terrain as well as groomed courses. You experience a bizarre rush going down a mountain/hill!

Definitely, I enjoy watching the FIS Nordic World Ski Championship. Norway tends to have the most talented skiiers, they took home 5 gold medals last tournament.
