Confident the twenty years since he last hit the slopes with his buddies hasn't eroded his ability, Ben skis an experts-only double black diamond run. He suffers a nearly disastrous spill, the Wipeout of all Wipeouts, leaving him battered, humiliated, and further depressed. Ski instructor, Ed Davis, came with the vacation package, but when Ben first saw Ed, sixty-ish and gray haired, Ben was sure he found his excuse to cut his vacation short and get back to work.
