Even with the polarized goggles on my face, the sun flashing on the snow
was almost blinding as I waited for the chair to finish its ascent up the
mountain.
There was a blanket of fresh powder from just a day ago, which was the
only good time to attempt this slope.
Affectionately—or was it?—known as the Swiss Wall, Pas de
Chavanette, was too steep to be pisted, which meant that it was chock-full
of moguls the size of small cars from other skiers constantly taking turns at
the same place, making humps in the snow that could send any amateur
flying.
I’d been training for this for years, taking on other ‘dangerous’ slopes
before I dared to bring myself to the one that had one of the fastest descents
in the world.
I was confident in my ability to do it.
As with any slope, though, the most dangerous part wasn’t necessarily
the terrain itself, or even your own abilities.
It was the other skiers who didn’t know what they were doing, who
overestimated their own abilities, leaving them panicky and uncontrollable.
And right in your way.
You weren’t supposed to ride this slope if you were anything less than
an expert skier. But a lot of intermediates thought that they were better than
they are. Or, increasingly, someone wanted to show off for their social
media followers.
I wasn’t against that. I had my own camera clipped to my helmet.
Because if you were going to spend your time messing around in extreme
sports that others enjoyed, but would never attempt, why not make money
off of their interest?
I had videos posted on various sites that brought me in a passive ten
grand a month. It helped fund more and more trips, more interests to
explore, more travels.
And, hopefully, this video would fund next year’s three-month-long
skiing marathon I had planned.
Damn.
I guess I wasn’t the early bird this morning. Half a dozen other skiers
were already standing there, all geared up, trying to peer down the icy
slope.
From what I understood, that was pointless.
With an incline of about seventy-six percent you couldn’t see the face of
the wall at the drop-in point. This was not the kind of slope you could look
down and prepare for. You had to nut-up, drop-in, and trust your instincts.
I joined the crowd, wondering how many actually did belong here, and
how many were going to regret this decision in a few moments.
You’d think that the sign, warning that a fall here could prove fatal,
would scare off people who weren’t one hundred percent sure they could
take this on.
But I knew from many past experiences, both skiing and other hobbies,
that people were, well, stupid.
They likely didn’t do the research. Or thought the warning sign was just
to cover their asses, or for the insurance company’s sake.
Six to ten people die on this slope each year.
I nodded at another guy with a camera on his helmet, hopefully a pro,
not just someone doing shit for clicks and views, then lined up.
