That's nuts, but I was expecting to watch someone fall down a cliff on skis.

Then again her "day job" involves catapulting down the slickest trails and jumps at close to 80mph, so that might have raised her pulse 10, maybe 15 beats per min

I have to wonder if her coach knew she was going to do that. You know, like the pros have prohibited specific events written right into their contracts.

Sounded like the whole A team was there.

There were multiple photos in the latest issue of Ski Racing magazine of the Women's team at their summer camp in New Zeland particpating in some extreme sports

Yeah, New Zealand is sweet . . . . I was there for a semester in college. I went bungee jumping, skiing, jetboating and canyoning, but didn't do that. It's on the to-do list for next time.

No thanks, doesn't look like anything I'd ever consider...

 

[aveski2000]

I'd consider it, if someone had a gun to my head.

NZ seems to have a slightly different concept of liability than we do here in the land of lawyers.

Pretty wild, to say the least.
