I'm pretty good at that AFTER I've skied, but on the way to the hill I have trouble being patient.
Seconded.
I'm pretty good at slowing for villages--i learned to drive in western Maine, and even in driver's ed they pointed out that when the speed limit quickly dropped, it would be a productive place for cops to hang out. A couple of the classic Vermont traps hardly count as villages, though (Plymouth, I'm looking at you).
Of course, one benefit of most of my ski driving being rather early to arrive at an appropriate hour for a race coach is that most people driving at that hour have somewhere to be and are driving accordingly, plus there's usually not a lot of traffic patrols until later in the morning.
