Article Abstract:

A skier describes how he and his girlfriend skied down a runaway-truck ramp. His first run was not the best because his primary thought as he skied was about what would happen if a truck needed to use the ramp while he was on it. He decided to try another run and made 10 of them altogether.

On wimping out: learning to live with the turns not taken

Article Abstract:
