168

Behind you, you hear a gun shot and see a chunk of bark chipped off a tree up ahead of you as the bullet skims past your head. Only a very skilful skier like you could negotiate the narrow path you are on as it weaves in and out of the many trees. You are very grateful for the cover of the trees as they protect you from the intermittent gunfire that is coming from behind you.

Eventually the trees start to thin out a little and soon disappear altogether. You wipe your goggles with your sleeve and now see the main slope over to your left, straight ahead appears to be a sheer drop but you can't see how high it is. You may head for the main slope (459) or head for the drop (178).
