There is a theory doing the rounds that Males product large amounts of Adrenaline for a good reason, namely being able to take on a Sabre Toothed Tiger in the defense of his offspring. This patently does not translate into the 'modern' world, and an awfully large number of laws are designed to curb it's effects. Having a pressure relief valve is a mighty important thing.

If you're going to go hiking the rule is you don't take your eyes off the ground. If you want to look at the view stop walking! You'd be surprised the number of hillwalkers who come a cropper for exactly not following this simple rule.
I agree about the exhilaration, when skiing at speed your mind is operating at full speed. The second you don't concentrate is the same second your face is in the snow or ice.

Sorry to hear about your friend SS.

I can and do understand. Most people probably never have a 'near death' experience so don't understand when those that squeeze the most out of their lives do the things they do. No, I wouldn't climb mountains (apart from being too old), but I do race cars.
Exhilaration is there for a reason.

There's a lot to be said of being an "indoors type".

No more skiing today, or at least not another black slope. My thighs are telling me don't do it..
