Fast downhill skiing is something else, I do that too. Usually you know how far away the slope is, because you know where your feet are. Jumping between boulders on trips into the mountains is dangerous, because it is difficult to see the how big a rock is. The difference between 50cm and 150cm height hurts, especially with 20 kilos on your back...

interesting: my SO sees essentially with only one eye too, but she plays tennis (not a pro, but quite OK) and loves downhill skiing (fast).

actions you find ways to compensate like recognizing size of known
objects, seeing relative movements (normal people use this at larger
distances), differences is sharpness (at close distances) etc.
Oh, cool! Someone else who sees the world the same way I do.
(No tennis for me, though. Hopeless at all ball sports throughout school years.)
