Physicist Stephen Hawking, who believes that mankind must colonize space, sent word that he wants in--which would allow him to slip the earthly confines of his wheelchair.

The very tunnel that provides such easy access to the slopes is an impressive victory for the mortals. But this winter, the mountain gods are reminding mankind just who's in charge.
