Carve-turn to carve-turn

We ski

No promises

No demands

We were strong

Love is a mountain

[from “Love is a Battlefield” – Pat Benatar]

These were the first words that stunned me as I was looking through my archives and came upon a cat-skiing trip from many years ago. For you non-skiers (heavan forbid) “cat” is short for “snowcat” which is a tractor-like vehicle taking skiers up into the un-groomed snow-covered mountain wilderness where they can attempt suicide (but have lots of fun doing it).

It’s December now!

Between looking at all the posts on Facebook and thinking about our forthcoming trip to Mont Tremblant, Quebec, skiing has been on my mind gargantuanly lately. So here I sit at my desk on a snowy afternoon in Collingwood (Ontario’s ski country), watching the snow outside, chewing 1 gummie, thinking about all this. Have fun!
