CHAPTER 11

DIAMOND

Scruffy got me to the lift that took me up to the most dangerous slope in the resort. If one didn’t get the clue that it was dangerous by just the looks of it from the bottom up, the fact that I was the only one going to the top of that slope on the lift was the sure tip off.

“Okay man, there’s no way I’m going up with you on that bad-boy. I’ll wait for you down at the bottom here. Do your thing. I can hardly wait to see this.” He pointed up to the top of the slope as he spoke.

“Will do. I’ll see you in a little while.” I hopped up on the lift.

As the lift took me higher and higher, I began to see the dangers involved with going down this sucker. There was a first aid station at the base for starters. The hill was extremely steep and huge rocks were poking out from it here and there. There were also a lot more trees in very inconvenient spots all over the place that would require some pretty solid navigation. I could see why only the most seasoned veterans of skiing could take this hill. Even then, it was risky.

When I got to the top and walked to the edge of the slope to go down, I got the grasp on just how steep it was. It was almost a straight down run. If I was human, there would be no way I could handle this thing. Luckily, I’m not, but it still didn’t change the fact that I felt a bit nervous. I put on my snowboard and got ready to hit the hill.

I stood there for a moment, staring at where Scruffy was standing, he looked like a dot. A handful of other skiers had gathered around him, I assumed curious to see who this maniac was that was about to do this idiotic act. I hopped off the ledge and away I went.

This was much different than the other slope Scruffy and I went down for sure. The speed picked up almost instantly and I was swishing from side to side down it trying to regulate my speed. In no time I found myself ripping around a few trees. Then by accident, because I didn’t see it coming, I shot off the top of one of the snow covered rocks. When I hit the ground I turned end over end for a second. Again, if I was a human, this would have spelled the end of this run for me. I would have surely tumbled all the way down the rest of the mountain, but I didn’t. I recovered nicely and got back to standing position. Just in time to hit another rock and launch off it.

This time I had full control and did a back-flip landing precisely on my feet and into a nice slash move. I purposely positioned myself to go in between some more trees and curved around a few of them at break-neck speed.
