How to survive the Big Cold.
It comes down to finding new addictions. got two, they've both got edges, they both require cold. Me and winter have struck a truce.
Went snowboarding yesterday, yes, snowboarding, notably NOT falling down the mountain with a board strapped to my feet. Snow Boarding. get that down. Me. flying down a mountain, and coming off only moderately bruised. Not that there weren't some fantastic wipe-outs... there were many. But I can get down that mountain without falling if I choose to.
Margaret and I decided we were more than somewhat addicted, and started plotting our next trip... It's that look, you know, in the eyes, the challenge, the devilish, mischievous answer, the wind picking up competition, running with it, pushing the edges until you're just a little too far past, saving it and coming back.
The faster you go the further you can lean, the cleaner the edge, carving the curves. then there's powder. just floating, weightless, edgeless, a dangerous peace.
oh wonders. So the board that's too big and too aggressive is now my new best friend. haha. Told You. now I've got something to work for. a couple of somethings to work for, and people to compete with. It's good to be back in the game.
