What you will find is that you will not only very willfully suspend critical thought, but that you will will also find a newfound faith and trust in something beyond your mind to get you down this mountain in 1 piece. That is God, you can only really experience it. It's an energy that flows through your body, but where will that energy go when you die? It's not your energy, it doesn't belong to you as a possession, it simply flows through you and you're a vessel or container for it...who does it belong to though? Some would call it God, it's not required that you do, no name is necessary...however the experience of such is very real.
So what about those people that don't make it down in one piece? Those people that break their neck, was God having a bad day or something, he decided the force shall not be with them?
You talk about the energy and BS, that's adrenaline from the experience to get you through a difficult task. Once you become an expert skier, I'm pretty confident you can do all those things you mentioned and probably receive a blowjob from your favorite woman, all in your head of course! The thing is you can control that energy much better with experience, God has nothing to do with it.
My point is this once you master a certain uncertainty you become more familiar with the action, you want to make it out to be something special in which God helps you magically.
On that note he must help everyone who goes skydiving for the first time or rollercoaster rides, diving, bungee jumping, climbing, the list is endless man. But the fact remains that if we keep doing these same activities our mind and body get used to the action and we can cope and adjust a lot better.
There's no point bringing up God as your savior to get you through tough times, frankly if God really existed you wouldn't of been in that tough position to begin with! Unless of course God is sadist, which I could get on board with btw. In fact that's the most logical explanation that God is actually a Demon, only acting like a God but his true colors are hard to hide, hence we live in such a disgusting world!
