The Alps offer unlimited possibilities. That's great because Ueli Kestenholz and Mathias Roten, two whacked-out Swiss guys, are pushing it in the snow. If you're up for this, should your heartbeat be normal? We'd say you're better off if it's fast! And there is a playground that is right on the money: The Swiss Alps' emblematic trinity of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. For centuries, mountaineers have been eager to climb or ski the three mountains. Or do what's Ueli's and Mathias's bag: speed riding. Europeans invented it, and doing it may well get your ski pass confiscated in the U.S. A 3,937-foot precipice on the Eiger North Face provides the ultimate kick. But it's only a warm up. Then it's on to Mönch and Jungfrau for a couple of pioneering runs down the slopes!
