For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but skiing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it's a complete physical expression of freedom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, skiing is a physical necessity. I have a need for risk.
I know the freedom that cycling gives you in terms of being able to just jump on and go.
Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.
Next to filmmaking and stuff like that, skiing is my favorite thing. I go skiing in Aspen - everywhere. I have been skiing since I was 4. I just love it. I feel so free.
The best indication is that I still love to ski on most anything, from skating gear to heavy metal.
Challenging snow is one of my favorite kinds of skiing, and I like being able to switch techniques at liberty.
My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.
I certainly have routines in my day-to-day life that are important to me and still give me feelings of security and control, but the capacity to break out of them every so often as I travel has given me a second wind.
A part of me is missing when I can't ski, but I've learned there's more to define me and make me happy, like stand-up paddling and Jet Skiing - things I'd never done before. Or being with people I love and just enjoying life.
The true exercise of freedom is - cannily and wisely and with grace - to move inside what space confines - and not seek to know what lies beyond and cannot be touched or tasted.
