I have been skiing at Ajax (Aspen Mountain) on a regular basis for nearly forty years and have never noticed any effect on mental acuity at 11,000 feet. It is the very nature of hypoxia that you don't recognize it yourself. Actually, this is the point which makes it so dangerous. I'm somewhat shocked that a pilot wouldn't know this. Of course it may be that skiers are mentally inacute to begin with. One thing is to walk around (or ski around or climb around, for that matter). It's a very different thing to work mentally, as is piloting. Stefan
