The run of the mill boarder will ride in the mid 20's (mph) and push 30 on faster runs. Good intermediate riders will see a top end of 40-50 mph and will ride most groomed runs in the low to mid 30s. It is difficult to do much more than low 30s at a crowded resort as colission risk increase with speed and other skiers and riders may be far less predictable. Likewise snow conditions will be a big part of speed - hard pack usually being the fastest and warm sticky powder the slowest.

This question depends a lot on the region (steepness of the mountains,) the difficulty of the run, and if there are bumps or if it is a speedy run; but in general, an intermediate skier goes around 15-20mph on a straight unimpeded run.

The skill level of the skier would have a lot to do with how fast he or she could go. However, professional skiers often reach speeds of 90 to 100 miles per hour on downhill runs.
