I'm off for my weekend up in the Adirondacks.
Going to go to Lake Placid and go on the Skeleton run at the Olympic Training Site.
I did it last year twice, 40 mph in the bobsled run with your face 3 inches from the ice.
Banking the high corners and all.
I highly recommend it to anyone who can ever get there.

They start you half way down since only the pros can do 80mph.
Halfway will get you between 30-40mph based on your body weight.
