“I generally ski about 10 MPH, unless I’m teaching, then about 5 MPH. I’ve been clocked in a race and with radar guns at 75 MPH, but that was a few years back. Most skiers will never ski at 30 MPH. so relax and enjoy yourself.”
i got that from another yahoo answer. References : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080219184511AAyZPwE
You would be amazed at how fast 20mph feels when you are on skis.
Its funny, I hear the kids all the time talking about how they were doing 60 mph on that last run. They dont realize just how slow they are actually traveling. References :

It really depends on the slope, and the skier.
Pros go 80+ mph
In generall, and intermediate skier on a moderate (blue) slope will go between 15-20mph
Hope I helped!

World speed skiing record is 156 MPH, i’m a little slower than that.

As the other answerer used my response from last spring, I’ll just elaborate that most recreational skiers never go 20 mph.
