You hold your breath as you approach the drop. Only when you get to within a few feet of the edge can you see that the drop is only about twenty feet or so.

You ski over the edge and seem to fall for eternity. You land at the bottom on your side in the soft snow and the sound of gunfire brings you back to life and you leap to your feet and ski away from the gang as they stand at the top of the drop firing at you.

You realise that you are lucky to escape with your life. Skiing may never hold the same thrill for you again.
