Cold air snaps against the visor as the control tower calls your sled green — the track ahead a concrete ribbon of ice that seems to lean into the mountain. You feel the shove from the crew, the sled lurches, and the world compresses into a sequence of corners and g-forces. For 50 seconds you are hitching a ride with a trained pilot down the Whistler Sliding Centre’s global-class track, hitting speeds in excess of 125 km/h while the mountain breathes around you.
