Skiing is the outlet, the community, and the risk that captivates all of us.

“Why is it so fun?”.

For them, drugs are an escape.

For all the others, we search relentlessly for something that offers peace and serenity.

Skiing IS, because it doesn’t force itself to be.

Fortunately, this support does not create a soft environment that fails to take risks.

Out of skiing, more than any other sport or activity, comes positive risk taking.

Now, I’m not afraid.

Skiing is risk, because that risk builds far more confidence than anything else you could do.

So why write when I have no credibility, no reputation, or no incentive?

Because I love it.

Today, passing a man in a wheelchair, I realized how fortunate I am.

We do what we do because we can’t get enough of it.
