I had always had a passion for Skiing. It also helped that I was actual good at it. And today, I was going to attempt one of the toughest paths out there...

I say tough, but I should say deadly. Only four people have attempted this trail, and three of them have died. Yeah, died. The fourth didn't make it to the end, and left horribly injured. Yes, this trail is banned.

Nobody is allowed to go on it... But they can't exactly keep watch on it forever.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around. The Helicopter was loud, but I didn't care. I looked at the snow below me, there were hills, ice, and rocks covering the ground.

Soon enough, the Helicopter landed on the closest trail to the banned trail. Thanking the pilot, I jump out and make myself look like I'm about to attempt this trail as the Helicopter flies off.

Once he disappeared from view, I took a deep breath and turned around, looking up the mountain. I had a long walk ahead of me...

It wasn't long before I was nearing the start of the trail. My heart was racing, and I could already feel the adrenaline. I can't believe I was about to do this...

Reaching the start of the trail, everything was dark. The mountain blocked the sun, and everything was covered in a shadow. There was a strong wind, and I could see a broken flag barely staying in the ground as the wind blew it... Guess that was the beginning.

Getting my ski's on, I take a deep breath and brace myself. I then hold onto my ski poles tight as I inched toward the downward slope.

Looking down, it was maybe a 70 degree angle? It was pretty steep. As I got a closer look, I could see the ice and rocks that covered the trail. From a glance, it seemed impossible.

Pulling my googles down over my eyes, I push myself forward, starting to slowly gain speed as I went down the trail.

The wind was intense, and I had to dodge many things... My hands started to shake as the thought of crashing into something grew ever stronger. Luckily, I had my GoPro to document me beating this trail! Wow, my enthusiasm is pretty good.

I was dodging obstacles left and right, wind whizzing past me as I basically flew down the mountain. Suddenly, I noticed a natural jump. It was perfect!

A smile spread across my face as I braced myself for the jump- And off I went! Hitting the jump, I gained massive air as I observed the ground below me. The beauty was stunning... Wait, is that... No... A cliff?

My heart sank as I noticed a cliff, almost a complete 90 degree angle with rocks.

Landing, I immediately tried to slow myself down. I had to be quick... That cliff was coming up! Thinking quickly, I cause myself to fall over, which in turn makes me start rolling very quickly. I try grabbing onto something, anything, to slow myself down as I went, but I couldn't get a grip on anything.

I felt my bag snap, and disappear in the snow. It didn't take long for me to start screaming as I had lost both my ski poles, and one ski. "God- No! N- AGH!" I scream, gradually slowling down. But, it seemed to be too late as I reached the end of the cliff...

Reaching the end of the cliff, I had slowed down enough as to not fall off. Gulping hard, I crawl back, my eyes wide with fear. That almost happened. I almost just died... But wait. I'm not... How was I not injured? Nothing felt broken, and nothing hurt... What was this, a miracle?

Slowly, I stand up and brush myself off, letting out a sigh of relief. Everything just happened so quickly... I rushed, I didn't pay attention...

As I stood there, thinkink about what had just happened, I noticed a shine in the snow. Curiously, I look up, and everything flashes white. Covering my eyes, I let out a yelp of surprise. What the hell is happening!?

In a moment, I opened my eyes, and saw something... Strange, to say the least. There, ten feet in front of me, was a portal. It was circuler and pink. I stared at it in awe, was I crazy? Surely this wasn't real... Had I hit my head?

Before I could come to any sort of conclusion, I saw a hand come out of the portal...
