skiing

day: 104. (plus maybe a couple more, the last day is sunday)
unreal. a goal i intended to meet since november. seemingly meaningless, at first, but nonetheless i still feel it is an accomplishment. 
in addition to the amount of days i skied i have to admit the natural comfort i feel on two wooden boards and stiff boots that make my toes numb. honestly, who in their right minds chooses a sport where they go out in the winds and snow, and fog, almost to the point of only seeing two feet in front of themselves on top of a mountain, not mention 30 mph winds? 
i don't know what i was thinking some of those days . . .
today,  i went through a shoot i look down almost every day called "meet your maker" and oh i met him. today i went through and straight lined . . . part of the way . . . and well, i'm proud. i know these days have been fun, and memorable, but it's nice to feel like i've gotten better too. 
the next step, corbits couloir . . . i've looked over the edge, scared to death, and well maybe one day . . .
