In the Bavarian Alps a famed ski course plummets two miles down the side of a mountain through a treacherous section with a steep drop nicknamed Hell.
When Jackie Wiles neared the spot during the downhill on a dark afternoon four years ago, the veteran U.S. Alpine skier pushed harder.
She had reached the podium in the downhill two weeks earlier for the second time in her career and wasn't about to let up in her final World Cup race, held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, before flying to the Winter Olympics in South Korea.
