Powder Day…
Van Morrison couldn’t have said it better in his song “These are the days”…. Although he probably wasn’t talking of winter or the possibilities of deep pow…
There are times in your life that you feel more alive than others… Times that you can begin to associate a feeling with a mental picture. Until this very fine day I no clue for association of the glory those infamouns smiling faces were experiencing in ski magazines. For all I knew they could be worked like a horse, wielding metal and fiberglass boards through concrete… But the reality is quite the opposite, its rather delicious. Imagine yourself in a Venn Diagram, somewhere between flying and falling, yeah, that’s about right; how you feel, slipping irresistibly through the snow watching the world as you know blur by. Weeks ago my thighs were burning in agony, begging for rest, but they’ve learned to accept, appreciate and relish in the mad glory of the snow, embracing its challenges and leaving the pansy that once was… behind. It is through this glorious experience that I can fully captivate and marvel in the understanding of all those smiles you see on the videos… Sure not all days are like this, but when the snow is deep, and sky is blue there are few things in the world that would come close for a fair trade…
Get out & Giver!!
