However, to some of us, the snow melting is more of a tragedy or a concern then the media driven scare tactics of a flu that is only effecting 109 people out of 6 billion. (I think the odds are in our favor on this one people.) However, for those of us who depend on snow for our sense of direction (i.e. Down), the snow melting and the seasons changing means its time to figure out how to carry ones-self into the next winter. Where do I work, where will I go, and how will I do what I did this year again, but better? While the rest of the country is in panic, I am looking back on a season and trying to parlay my experiences into the future. I find there is always a slight panic among my friends in and around the ski industry this time of year as people are forced to change everything they know and choose a different direction to carry their soles through the summer. While I must say the summer is my favorite time of year for a few reasons I am still driven by the winter months for many other and more passionate reasons. There is just something about skiing the carries the sole and drives the heart to make sometimes irrational decisions in order to maintain the feeling of frolicking with gravity. However, one things is for sure and we can all look back on this ski season as a success. Although we lost friends and legends alike, the feeling of skiing is never lost but only harnessed in a different and more respectable manner. There is nothing quite like falling, wether its down a mountain or in love. Something inside us drives the desire to keep falling, but in the process push our limits on the way. So what ever path you are falling on, remember that the snow will fall again and the experiences of today will only make us want more in the future. Therefore, live your life despite the worry of a flue only effecting .00000003% of the population. You’ll be okay, because the snow will fall again and all your worries will be alleviated.
