Approaching Nepean Gorge
Not yet skilled for navigate the narrow pass
We turn
Panic’s narrow turning circle
Whips skier around wider arc
Accelerating
Just holding it together
Then …
Rocks.
Dead ahead!
Tip for trouble recalled:
Release rope, squat,
Use hands as anchors
Phhewww! Close call!
Lucky I read that ski book.
