How parenthood changes the meaning of extreme sports for couples

My wife and I used to approach backcountry skiing as this meditation on risk and trust and being present with uncertainty, but after having kids we've become so focused on safety protocols and contingency plans that we've lost the spiritual dimension that made it meaningful.
