Trepidation filled my head. Despite the negative 10 degree weather‚ sweat pooled in my gloves and rolled down my face. Thoughts raced through my mind; a wrong execution could mean death. 11 years of ski lessons had cultivated to this one moment. My life was on the line‚ yet a wave of excitement shook me.
