Me, too. Just looking down makes me queazy. Skiing doesn’t. Guess it has to do with control or something.


Same here. Like to hike in the mountains but looking down from the top can be disturbing. But a nice snowy mountain to ski down doesn’t bother me.

Why is that? Not afraid of flying either.

I got married in June 2001, but I had some commitments I could not break. So after 9/11, I flew to Tennessee to be a bridesmaid in my niece’s wedding. Then from there flew to San Diego for a seminar for four days, while we won the World Series. Arrrggg! Then flew back to AZ.

Somewhere in there I was flying out of an airport in Florida after a cruise with my husband. It was the day after the shoe bomber and the same airport. Did not bother me a bit. But if I look down into the Grand Canyon, I am shaking.
