Turns out that no one has measured the wind speed at the summit,

If this summit fails, there really is no way back.

It's an ill wind that blows no one any good

One thing you can say is that as for the voodoo stuff, no one had ever done anything like that before. The stuff sounds very weird to us. I don't even know if it would make it today.

Dale was very impressive - he's close to the best skier out there on his turns and speed.

I felt I lost my grip in the last three turns. That's where I lost the speed.
