Mountain driving is very simple:
Pick the max speed you want on the way down;
start is a lower gear and let the speed build until you hit your max speed;
then brake FIRMLY to bring speed 10 MPH below your max;
Release the brakes and let them cool as speed builds again.
repeat as needed
DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKES, let them cool between applications.
