I won't ski in the backcountry the day after a big storm anymore. The mountains are so humbling. As soon as you think you're on top or crushing it, that's when you need to be really careful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you back off, it's easier to do mistakes. For me it's better to ski fast.
I'm still having fun and as long as skiing is enjoyable, I'm going to continue to do it.
It rained a lot in New Hampshire, and when I skied, the snow was icy and hard, and the mountains were small.
I'd be nervous about skiing, wondering what I'd do if I felt shaky on top of a mountain; but other diabetics do ski, so there's no reason I couldn't.
In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.
I can ski backwards on one ski. And foldblinded!
I love skiing fast. You're going 80 to 85 m.p.h. down an icy slope, and I love it.
I love skiing.
Skiing not only for yourself and your family, but for your country, was surreal. The amount of support I got from back home in Indiana was insane.
For me, skiing is a physical necessity. I have a need for risk.
