Many went skiing today on Buttermilk Mtn., Pitkin Co., Colo., but we were not among them. Overall, there were three full-day sessions on the slopes, and they were great fun.
Now that most of the death-grip fear and counterproductive survival instincts have been tamed-out of us, we are beginning to aim for better technique, more efficiency and, daresay we, unlabored gracefulness when winding our way down from summit to base. It’s starting to become a partner-dance between us & gravity, the Alpine give-and-take, absorb-then-propel, a snowy capoeira. The struggle and toil and constant vigilance of our beginning skiing process from three years ago are just about consigned to memory. We are beginning to flow now on the slopes, same as we have been for a few years now on the tennis court, and count ourselves among the 4.0 ranks in both.
