We all have those times when we are terrified in the moment but it makes a great story later.
Here is mine: “The white strip of doom” when you are cruising along a one-ish foot wide strip of snow with rocks and bushes on either side. Perhaps road rash from skiing is a rite of passage?
It’s the kind of thing where it’s not fun or just scary at the time. But it makes for a great story so it’s worth it in the long run.
