Strapping on your skies, getting ready to drop over that lip onto terrain that's too steep to even see from the top, you begin to wonder - have I finally reached the gates of hell. But forget your trepidation, there's no time for that now, since everyone's waiting for you to make the drop. Have no doubt, all those skiers at the bottom of the wall have a bead on you, know it, it's you that they're watching. Nobody shoulders their skies now. It's your time. There's no way out but down.

Oh Shit! Here I go! Too much speed! I have to turn but it just seems impossible on this steep a pitch. Got to get an edge, but not too much or you may end up in a top to bottom tumble. That's it you've got the first one! Now another, and another, and another, and the whole damn thing is over in an instant. Somebody pry my heart out of my mouth. Somebody call my mother. That's bad! That's crazy!

O.K. now, regain you composure, smile for the audience, be cool and let everyone know that you sat in the snow way too long at lunch, and that's why your pants are wet. Compare notes with you're friends. Which is the best line? Who linked the most turns? Remember, no matter how scared you were, act like it was nothing. Now hold that thought, cause you're going to have to do it go again, and again, and then just one more time, since you guys spent sooo much time getting up here.
