 Did this last Friday.  This is me but my wife wasn't quite quick enough on the draw. Do you think this shot makes my legs look fat?  97.6 kph average top speed over two runs almost 3G's on the final curve.

Wow, Paul! Pretty darn impressive! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

that's awesome, I always thought skeleton would be a blast to do!
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Looks like a blast. I went to Whistler but it was in the summertime. Got to see lots of bears.

Best 30 second rush. Glad there was a chin guard on the helmut it touched the ice a few times on second run when the strength in my neck was gone and all I could do was look at the ice.
["Got to see lots of bears."] My daughters funny boyfriend had some tourists convinced that the moguls on one run were sleeping bears so they had better be good skiers to go down it.

So that's what people do when it's snowy/icy and too cold to ride.
Nice! Sounds like fun!
