I have a 360-degree view atop this mountain, it graciously demands respect by just looking at the views.
It gives snow to all that love it, my mountain, for it is my home.
I am shaking with anticipation ?
our group of four traverses westward high lining to our favorite spines and chutes.
We get to the wind shaped breaking ?snow waves?
and it?s time.
My eyes widen like a goggled cartoon character as I take in the pitch.
I drop in, and my stomach drops out like I am on the crux of a rollercoaster ride.
I am sucking in snow spray as I move fast and blind down my line.
Hoots and hollers are heard all around, people dropping in on their own favorite space out here.
For the moment, there is enough fresh snow for all partaking.
The rush fulfilled until the next run.
The wonderful ectasy of enjoying a great day on the snow with friends is a feeling like no other.
Thank you for all the great days, Sugar Bowl, CA.
Sometimes the love is tough I must admit.
