Wetass Lives–Maegan Carney: TWC featured this extreme skier earlier this year, when she was attempting to become the first woman (and only second person) to ski off the summit of Everest. She didn’t make it, but Skiing magazine has a great profile of Carney, who’s one of the world’s gutsiest. Let’s see. She’s afraid of heights. She got into extreme skiing (not out) after being rolled and almost killed by an avalanche (“It was a big turning point. It was like a big kick in the butt to do more, see more, and experience more before it was too late.”). She never made the U.S. National ski team in part because she was a punk who once told a coach to “blow it out your ass.” Oh yeah. And she plans to take another crack at Everest…



“Okay, enough of this easy sh*t. I’m going back to Chomolunga and the top of the world…”
