“I’m sure part of our love of descending swiftly is the pleasure
anybody takes in being proficient at something difficult. But I think the
most compelling reason is that whatever else a fast downhill provides, it’s
a release from preoccupation. Hugging the curves of a steep mountain road,
we’re “in the zone” - completely focused on the matter at
hand. The stressors that hang forever over us - work, family life, global
warming - simply get pushed out of our minds.”
