schussed

Flew straight down

Schussed is the past tense of schuss, meaning to ski straight down a slope at high speed without turning.

The word comes from German for "shot," capturing the bullet-like trajectory: She schussed down the mountain in record time.

It implies confidence and skill—or recklessness.
